Murders in the Rue Morgue

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hovaBRK8Fe8

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 piercing scream

and I rushed to the scene of the crime

what I found were 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.

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.

and I've gotta find my way across 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

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 bitches 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.

Rock out with your cock out! KILL. YOUR. IDOLS.

This pain is fleeting, ring out
Mechanical the passion
Your head is bleeding, slow down

Can't keep doing this
What you want me to
Marching sheep herd said
See my broken head

Live your own life
I got myself
Out of my sight
Kill your idols

It's ugly, you see
I don't care what you think now
Forgive, forget
Don't take the easy way out

Can't keep doing this
What you want me to
Marching sheep herd said
See my broken head

Live your own life
I got myself
Out of my sight
Kill your idols
