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 recognise

running down my back street

My heart skipped a beat



Chorus (2x):

You better watch out, there's a stranger in town

You better watch out when he comes around

Don't make a sound



The morning paper and the head-lines read:Danger to the queen

Buckingham Palace better tighten things up

The son of a bitch is mean.

Vendors 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



Chorus (2x)



You better watch out..



Who'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 Riper'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 ?



Chorus



You better watch out
