Murders In The Rue Morgue   Steve Harris 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
