Murders in the Rue Morgue - 2015 Remaster

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 laying side by side

Murders in the Rue Morgue

Someone call the gendarmes

Murders in the Rue Morgue

Vite before the killers go free

There's some people coming down the street

At last someone heard my call

Can't understand why they're pointing at me

I never done nothing at all

Well, I've 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

Murder in the Rue Morgue

Someone call the gendarmes

Murder 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

I've gotta find a way across the border for sure

Down the south to Italy

Murders in the Rue Morgue

Running from 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...

Murders in the Rue Morgue

I'm running from the gendarmes

Murders in the Rue Morgue

Running from the arms of the law

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

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

Murders in the Rue Morgue

They're never gonna find me

Murders in the Rue Morgue

I'm never going home
