The Tell-Tale Heart by Tourniquet
Performed by
TourniquetAbout
The song is based on “The Tell-Tale Heart” by Edgar Allan Poe in which a murderer is able to murder a man and successfully hide all of the evidence, yet he thinks he is hearing the dead man’s heart beating and it eventually drives him crazy and he confesses his crime.
The Tell-Tale Heart Lyrics
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
