Karaoké Murders in the Rue Morgue Iron Maiden

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

Flee before the killers go free

There's some people coming down the street

At last someone heard my call

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

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 the 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

I'm running from the Gendarmes

Murders in the Rue Morgue

I'm never coming 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 tonight away from the staring eyes

Any day they'll be looking for me 'cos 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 victims 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
