I remember it was late one night in the middle of a dream
Woke up in a pool of sweat thought I heard a scream
Ran over to the window sill stuck my head out for a peek
Dressed in black was a man I didn't recognize
Running down my back street, my heart skipped a beatYou better watch out, there's a stranger in town
You better watch out, there's a stranger in town
You better watch out when he comes around
Don't make a soundThe morning paper and the head-lines read
"Danger to the queen"
Buckingham Palace better tighten things up
The son of a bitch is meanVendors on the corner just doin' their job
Acting like nothing's new
Scotland Yard's still looking for him
But he doesn't leave a single clue, what can we do?You better watch out, there's a stranger in town
You better watch out, there's a stranger in town
You better watch out when he comes around
Don't make a soundWho's this man who fell out of the sky?
What's he done and where's he live?
How can a man who's a criminal be a hero to the kids?
The old couple swear that the Ripper's back, they say it's him all right
The young girl says it's Jesus and he won't be back again tonight
I wonder who's right ?You better watch out, there's a stranger in town
You better watch out, there's a stranger in town
You better watch out when he comes aroundYou better watch out, there's a stranger in town
You better watch out, there's a stranger in town
You better watch out when he comes around
Don't make a sound
