I Remember It
Was 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 Distant Scream
And I Rushed To
The Scene Of The Crime

But All I Found Was
The Butchered Remains
Of Two Girls Layin'
Side By Side

Murders In The Rue Morgue
Someone Call The Gendarmes
Murders In The Rue Morgue
Flee Before The Killers Go Free

There's Some People
Coming Down The Street
At Last Someone Heard My Call
I Can't Understand Why
They're Pointing At Me

I Never Done Nothing At All
But I Got Some
Blood On My Hands
Because Everybody'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 Of France Is Looking For Me
And I've Gotta Find My Way
Accross The Border For Sure
Down The South To Italy

Murders In The Rue Morgue
Runnin' From The Gendarmes
Murders In The Rue Morgue
I'm Never Going Home

Well I Made It To
The Border With Luck
But I Can't Remove
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...

Murders In The Rue Morgue
I'm Running From The Gendarmes
Murders In The Rue Morgue
Running From The Arms Of The Law

[[[SolO]]]

Murders In The Rue Morgue
Running From The Gendarmes
Murders In The Rue Morgue
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
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

Murders In The Rue Morgue
They're Never Gonna Find Me
Murders In The Rue Morgue
I'm Never Going Home.
