Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds Jack the Ripper

Tekst piosenki

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
I awake with a hatchet hanging over my head

Well you know the story of the viper
It’s long and lean with a poison tooth
Yeah, you know the story of the viper
It’s long and lean with a 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
