Murders In The Rue Morgue - Steve Harris Lyrics

========================================              
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.
