IRON MAIDEN - Murders In The Rue Morgue (Harris)


I remember it as plain as day although
It happened in the dark of the night
I was strolling
Through the streets of Paris
It was cold and it was starting to rain
And then I heard an ear-piercing 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 killer 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 hand
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 law
All of France is looking for me
I've gotta to find my way
Across the border for sure
Down to the south of Italy

Murders in the Rue Morgue
Someone call the gendarmes
Murders in the Rue Morgue
