The Ripper Lyrics - Overkill

[Originally performed by Judas Priest] 

You're in for surprise 

You're in for a shock 

In London town streets 

When there's darkness and fog 

When you least expect me 

And you turn your back 

I'll attack 

I smile when I'm sneaking 

Through shadows by the wall 

I laugh when I'm creeping 

But you won't hear me at all

All hear my warning 

Never turn your back 

On the ripper 

You'll soon shake with fear 

Never knowing if I'm near 

I'm sly and I'm shameless 

Nocturnal and nameless 

Except for "The Ripper" 

Or if you like "Jack The Knife" 

Any back alley street 

Is where we'll probably meet 

Underneath a gas lamp 

Where the air's cold and damp 

I'm a nasty surprise 

I'm a devil in disguise 

I'm a footstep at night 

I'm a scream of the fright 

All hear my warning 

Never turn your back 

On the ripper...the ripper....the ripper
