Murders in the Rue Morgue

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...

 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.

 They're never gonna find me
