Murders In The Rue Morgue

歌词

iron maiden - murders in the rue morgue

i remember it as plain as day

although it happened in the dark of the night.

i was strolling through the streets of parie

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

leave before the killers go free

theres some people coming down the street

at last someone heard my call

i cant understand why theyre pointing at me

i never done nothing at all.

but i got some blood on my hands

because everyones shouting at me

i cant speak french so i couldnt 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 ive gotta get away from the arms of the law.

all france is looking for me.

ive 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

im never going home.

well i made it to the border at last

but i cant erase the scene from my mind

anytime somebody stares at me, well

i just start running blind

well im moving through the shadows at night

away from the staring eyes

any day theyll 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 im getting so tired

im 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

to get me out of trouble for sure

but i know that its on my mind

that my doctor said ive done it before.

murders in the rue morgue

theyre never gonna find me

murders in the rue morgue

im never going home.
