I cut him up this evening |
|
And when they came to check the screams |
|
On the very spot I killed him |
|
I served a spot of tea |
|
I left no evidence |
|
That anything was wrong |
|
But the unnerving sound beneath the floorboards |
|
Reminded me of what I'd done |
|
I thought I'd committed |
|
The perfect fool-proof crime |
|
I never knew how heavy |
|
It would weigh upon my mind |
|
Things done in secret |
|
Under cover of night |
|
Have a funny way |
|
Of being brought into the light |
|
I admit the deed! |
|
Can't you hear the beating |
|
I admit the deed! |
|
I'm being driven mad by the tell-tale heart |
