|
I remember it as plain as day |
|
although it happened in the dark of the night. |
|
I was strolling through the streets of Paris |
|
and it was cold it was starting to rain. |
|
And then I heard a piercing scream |
|
and I rushed to the scene of the crime |
|
but all I found was the butchered remains |
|
of two girls lay side by side. |
|
Murders in the Rue Morgue |
|
someone call the Gendarmes |
|
Murders in the Rue Morgue |
|
run before the killers go free |
|
There's some people coming down the street |
|
at last there's someone heard my call |
|
I can't understand why they're pointing at me |
|
I never done nothing at all. |
|
But I must have got some blood on my hands |
|
because everyone's shouting at me |
|
I can't speak French so I couldn't explain |
|
and like a fool I started running away. |
|
Murders in the Rue Morgue |
|
someone call the Gendarmes |
|
Murders in the Rue Morgue |
|
am I ever gonna be free. |
|
And now I've gotta get away from the arms of the law. |
|
All France is looking for me. |
|
I've gotta find my way across the border for sure |
|
down the south to Italy. |
|
Murders in the Rue Morgue |
|
someone call the Gendarmes |
|
Murders in the Rue Morgue |
|
I'm never going home. |
|
Well I made it to the border at last |
|
But I can't erase the scene from my mind |
|
Anytime somebody stares at me, well |
|
I just start running blind |
|
Well I'm moving through the shadows at night |
|
Away from the staring eyes |
|
Any day they'll be looking for me |
|
'Cause I know I show the signs of... |
|
Murders in the Rue Morgue |
|
running from the Gendarmes |
|
Murders in the Rue Morgue |
|
running from the arms of the law |
|
Murders in the Rue Morgue |
|
running from the Gendarmes |
|
Murders in the Rue Morgue |
|
am I ever gonna be free |
|
It took so long and I'm getting so tired |
|
I'm running out of places to hide |
|
Should I return to the scene of the crime |
|
Where the two young victims died |
|
If I could go to somebody for help |
|
It'd get me out of trouble for sure |
|
But I know that it's on my mind |
|
That my doctor said I've done it before. |
|
Murders in the Rue Morgue |
|
they're never gonna find me |
|
Murders in the Rue Morgue |
|
I'm never going home. |
