| 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. | 
| 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 | 
| 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 | 
| Murders in the Rue Morgue | 
| they’re never gonna find me Murders in the Rue Morgue | 
| I’m never going home. |
