In Flames Murders In The Rue Morgue [bonus Song] Lyrics

Murders In The Rue Morgue [bonus Song] Lyrics

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



Murders in the Rue Morgue

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
