The Murders in the Rue Morgue (feat. Eric Woolfson & Steve Balsamo)

Comments

  1. (Extra, extra, read all about it!)

    They found another victim but she's barely alive
    (Murder! Murder!)
    She must have known who done it but she didn't survive
    (Murder! Murder!)
    There might have been a dozen, but they think there's only two
    (Murder! Murder! Read all about it!)
    They might have spoken Russian but we haven't got a clue

    Murder, murder, in the Rue Morgue!
    Murder, murder!
    Murder, murder, in the Rue Morgue!
    Murder, murder!

    They didn't force the windows and they didn't break the doors
    (Murder! Murder!)
    There's blood upon the ceiling and a razor on the floor
    (Murder! Murder!)
    Somebody heard an argument, somebody heard a crash
    (Murder! Murder!)
    They didn't touch the jewelry, they didn't steal the cash
    They broke up all the furniture, smash smash smash!

    Murder, murder, in the Rue Morgue!
    Murder, murder!
    Murder, murder, in the Rue Morgue!
    Murder, murder!By a process of deduction I have come to the conclusion
    The crime is not committed, and the murder an illusion
    The body's a reality and not destroyed by spirits
    But whatever must have happened, it was over in minutes

    Police have got a problem, they don't know where to look
    They need to find a suspect to get them off the hook
    Although it's plainly obvious, they cannot understand
    That the criminal was no ordinary man
    The perpetrator just slipped through their hands

    They found the mother lying in the middle of the room
    (Ghastly! Murder!)
    The daughter in the chimney stack stuck up like a broom
    (Murder! Murder!)
    The police are getting nowhere, they don't know what to do
    (Murder! Murder!)
    They even asked a psychic, but nothing's coming through

    Murder, murder, in the Rue Morgue!
    Murder, murder!
    Murder, murder, in the Rue Morgue!
    Murder, murder!

    They might be still in hiding, they might be on the run
    (Murder! Murder!)
    They're trying to find the motive but they've only just begun
    (Murder! Murder!)
    They've guarded off the neighborhood, no one can get through
    (Murder! Murder!)
    They haven't found a footprint, they haven't found a shoe
    They're all completely baffled, it's a fine how-to-do!
    Murder, murder, in the Rue Morgue!
    Murder, murder!
    Murder, murder, in the Rue Morgue!
    Murder, murder!

    By the clarity of reason I have come to my decision
    Though the facts are unequivocal, they tend to blur the vision
    An exit was impossible, the lock had not been fiddled
    Though the motive was invisible, the riddle was unriddled

    In light of comprehension by a process of deduction
    We eliminate impossible and end up with instruction
    For, sure as my name is Auguste Dupin
    The criminal was an orangutan

    The animal escaped from the clutches of its master
    Who chased him through the town, but the animal was faster
    He got in through a window, quite how, it doesn't matter
    Then it found an open razor and alarmed them with a clatter

    The ladies must have screamed in their terror and their dread
    And it flailed its arms--slash, slash, slash--they were dead!
    But the fingerprint it left was by no human hand
    For the murderer was an orangutan
    Yes the murderer was an orangutan!
    Murder, murder, in the Rue Morgue!
    Murder, murder!
    Murder, murder, in the Rue Morgue!
    Murder, murder!

    With every possibility the police are off the hook
    (Murder! Murder!)
    They couldn't solve the mystery, they want to close the book
    (Murder! Murder!)
    It might be still in hiding or it might be on the run
    (Murder! Murder!)
    But then they caught a suspect, their found was nearly done
    They thought it was all over then they find another one!

    Murder, murder, in the Rue Morgue!
    Murder, murder!
    Murder, murder, in the Rue Morgue!
    Murder, murder!

    Murder, murder, in the Rue Morgue!
