Murders In The Rue Morgue Lyrics - Graveyard Classis, Vol. 4: Number Of The Priest - Six Feet Under

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. 

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... 

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 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 

They're never gonna find me 

Murders in the Rue Morgue 

I'm never going home
