|
You will find me standing in the shadows |
|
Dressed to the nines |
|
With the image of your murder |
|
Burning in my eyes |
|
I'm the handsome stranger |
|
Who took you for a ride |
|
I offered you some candy |
|
On the day you died |
|
I'm Jack! and you're my victim |
|
I was born to take your life |
|
You were born to suffer |
|
At the hands of Jack the Knife |
|
I'm on your favorite TV show |
|
I'm everywhere you look |
|
I'm a star of stage and screen |
|
and the latest murder books |
|
I'm the Devil's paintbrush |
|
and he likes the color red |
|
You're my latest masterpiece |
|
Dismembered on your bed |
|
I'm the beast in black, I'm Saucy Jack |
|
from Never-Never Land |
|
I'm the heavy metal boogie man |
|
Catch me if you can! |
|
Ripper, slasher, night stalker |
|
Each of them a tasty slice |
|
but future generations will call me |
|
Jack the Knife! |
|
Inverted pentagrams |
|
In lipstick on your wall |
|
The symbol of my savior |
|
I carved into my palm |
|
I use a knife to make my mark |
|
Name and number of the beast |
|
In the flesh of some young lovely |
|
Recently deceased! |
|
I'm the perfect gentleman |
|
Who's trust you all betrayed |
|
Satan's little helper |
|
With a razor blade |
|
A pint of demon rum |
|
and some little yellow pills |
|
...help make my thinking clearer |
|
...help me decide if I should kill |
|
I'll show you a thing or two |
|
With surgical precision |
|
And as the blood begins to flow |
|
I'll know I made the right decision |
|
The final incision |
