Murders in the Rue Morgue

I remember it as plain as dayAlthough it happened in the dark of the nightI was strolling through the streets of ParisAnd it was cold it was starting to rainAnd then I heard a piercing screamAnd I rushed to the scene of the crimeBut all I found was the butchered remainsOf two girls lay side by sideMurders in the Rue MorgueSomeone call the GendarmesMurders in the Rue MorgueRun before the killers go freeThere's some people coming down the streetAt last there's someone heard my callI can't understand why they're pointing at meI never done nothing at allBut I must have got some blood on my handsBecause everyone's shouting at meI can't speak French so I couldn't explainAnd like a fool I started running awayMurders in the Rue MorgueSomeone call the GendarmesMurders in the Rue MorgueI ever gonna be freeAnd now I've gotta get away from the arms of the lawAll France is looking for meI've gotta find my way across the border for sureDown the south to ItalyMurders in the Rue MorgueSomeone call the GendarmesMurders in the Rue MorgueI'm never going homeWell I made it to the border at lastBut I can't erase the scene from my mindAnytime somebody stares at me, wellI just start running blindWell I'm moving through the shadows at nightAway from the staring eyesAny day they'll be looking for me'Cause I know I show the signs ofMurders in the Rue MorgueRunning from the GendarmesMurders in the Rue MorgueRunning from the arms of the lawMurders in the Rue MorgueRunning from the GendarmesMurders in the Rue MorgueI ever gonna be freeIt took so long and I'm getting so tiredI'm running out of places to hideShould I return to the scene of the crimeWhere the two young victims diedIf I could go to somebody for helpIt'd get me out of trouble for sureBut I know that it's on my mindThat my doctor said I've done it beforeMurders in the Rue MorgueThey're never gonna find meMurders in the Rue MorgueI'm never going home
