Murders in the Rue Morgue

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus 1]
Murders in the Rue Morgue
Someone call the Gendarmes
Murders in the Rue Morgue
Run before the killers go free

[Verse 2]
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 was shouting at me
I can't speak French so I couldn't explain
And like a fool I started running away

[Chorus 2]
Murders in the Rue Morgue
Someone call the Gendarmes
Murders in the Rue Morgue
Am I ever gonna be free

[Break]
And now I've gotta get away from the arms of the law
All of France is looking for me
I've gotta find my way across the border for sure
Down the south to Italy

[Chorus 3]
Murders in the Rue Morgue
Someone call the Gendarmes
Murders in the Rue Morgue
I'm never going home

[Verse 3]
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
To get me out of trouble for sure
But I know that inside my mind
Well I've got to say I've done it before

[Chorus 4]
Murders in the Rue Morgue
Run before the Gendarmes
Murders in the Rue Morgue
Run before the arms of the law

[Chorus 5]
Murders in the Rue Morgue
Run before the Gendarmes
Murders in the Rue Morgue
Am I ever gonna be free?

[Chorus 6]
Murders in the Rue Morgue
They're never gonna find me
Murders in the Rue Morgue
I'm never going home
