I remember it as plain as day
3
although it happened in the dark of the night.
4
I was strolling through the streets of Paris
5
and it was cold it was starting to rain.
6
And then I heard a piercing scream
7
and I rushed to the scene of the crime
8
but all I found was the butchered remains
9
of two girls lay side by side.

Murders in the Rue Morgue
11
someone call the Gendarmes
12
Murders in the Rue Morgue
13
run before the killers go free
14
There's some people coming down the street
15
at last there's someone heard my call
16
I can't understand why they're pointing at me
17
I never done nothing at all.
18
But I must have got some blood on my hands
19
because everyone's shouting at me
20
I can't speak French so I couldn't explain
21
and like a fool I started running away.

someone call the Gendarmes

Murders in the Rue Morgue
25
am I ever gonna be free.
26
And now I've gotta get away from the arms of the law.
27
All France is looking for me.
28
I've gotta find my way across the border for sure
29
down the south to Italy.

33
I'm never going home.
34
Well I made it to the border at last
35
But I can't erase the scene from my mind
36
Anytime somebody stares at me, well
37
I just start running blind
38
Well I'm moving through the shadows at night
39
Away from the staring eyes
40
Any day they'll be looking for me
41
'Cause I know I show the signs of...

am I ever gonna be free
50
It took so long and I'm getting so tired
51
I'm running out of places to hide
52
Should I return to the scene of the crime
53
Where the two young victims died
54
If I could go to somebody for help
55
It'd get me out of trouble for sure
56
But I know that it's on my mind
57
That my doctor said I've done it before.
58
Murders in the Rue Morgue
59
they're never gonna find me

Murders in the Rue Morgue
61
I'm never going home.
