I remember it as plain as day although it happened in the dark of the night I was strolling through the streets pf Paris It was cold and it was starting to rain
And then I heard an earpierching scream And I rushed to the scene of the crime But all I found was the butchered remains Of two girls laying side by side
Murders in the Rue Morgue Someone call the gendarmes Murders in the Rue Morgue Vito before the killers go free
There's some people coming down the street At last there's someone heard my calls 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 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 going to be free
And now I've gotta get away from the arms of the law All of France is looking for me I've gotta find my way across the border for sure Down to the South of Italy
Murders in the Rue Morgue Running from the gendarmes Murders in the Rue Morgue I'm never going home
