Iron Maiden - Murders In The Rue Morgue

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 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 is some people coming down the street
at last there is someone heard my call
I can not understand why theyre pointing at me
I never done nothing at all.
But I must have got some blood on my hands
because everyones shouting at me
I can not speak French so I couldnt 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 have gotta get away from the arms of the law.
All France is looking for me.
I have 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
Imnever going home.
Well I made it to the border at last
But I can not erase the scene from my mind
Anytime somebody stares at me, well
I just start running blind
Well Immoving 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 Imgetting so tired
Imrunning 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
Itd get me out of trouble for sure
But I know that its on my mind
That my doctor said I have done it before.
Murders in the Rue Morgue
theyre never gonna find me
Murders in the Rue Morgue
Imnever going home.
