| 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
