Jack the Ripper Lyrics by Nick Cave

Jack the Ripper Lyrics

    I got a woman
    She rules my house with an iron fist
    I got a woman
    She rules my house with an iron fist
    She screams out Jack the Ripper
    Every time I try to give that girl a kiss

    I got a woman
    She strikes me down with a fist of lead
    I got a woman
    She strikes me down with a fist of lead
    We bed in a bucket of butcher's knives
    A awake with a hatchet hanging over my head

    Well you know the story of the viper
    It's long and lean with poison tooth
    Yeah, you know the story of the viper
    It's long and lean with poison tooth
    Well they're hissing under the floorboards
    Hanging down in bunches from my roof

    I got a woman
    She just hollers what she wants from where she is
    I got a woman
    She just hollers what she wants from where she is
    She screams out Jack the Ripper
    Every time I try to give that girl a kiss
