Murders in the Rue Morgue lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
Murders in the Rue Morgue
Someone call the Gendarmes
Murders in the Rue Morgue
Quick, before the killers go free!

[Verse 2]
There's some people coming down the street
At last someone heard my call
I can't understand why they're pointing at me
I haven't 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
