Adrian Smith - Murders In The Rue Morgue lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus 1] Murders in the Rue Morgue Someone call the Gendarmes Murders in the Rue Morgue Vite before the k**ers go free [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus 2] Murders in the Rue Morgue Someone call the Gendarmes Murders in the Rue Morgue Am I ever gonna be free [Break] 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 [Chorus 3] Murders in the Rue Morgue Someone call the Gendarmes Murders in the Rue Morgue I'm never coming home [Verse 3] 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 at night Away from the staring eyes Any day they'll be looking for me Cause I know I show the signs of [Chorus 4] Murders in the Rue Morgue Someone call the Gendarmes Murders in the Rue Morgue Running from the arms of the law [Chorus 2] Murders in the Rue Morgue Someone call the Gendarmes Murders in the Rue Morgue Am I ever gonna be free [Verse 4] 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 [Chorus 3] Murders in the Rue Morgue Someone call the Gendarmes Murders in the Rue Morgue I'm never going home
