[Instrumental]

born into a scene
of angriness and greed
of dominance and persecution

My mother was a queen
my dad I've never seen
I was never meant to be.

Now I spend my time
looking all around
For a man that's nowhere
to be found,
Until I find him,
I'm never gonna stop searching
I'm going to find my man
gonna travel round.

so long wrathchild
Yeah I'm a wrathchild,
hello wrathchild
comin' to get you
oooh yeaheyeah

Some say it shouldn't matter
ain't nothing gonna alter
the course of my destination

But I know I've gotta find
some seriaus peace of mind
or I know I'll just go crazy

Now I spend my time
looking all around
For a man that's nowhere
to be found,
Until I find him,
I'm never gonna stop searching
I'm going to find my man
gonna travel round.

so long wrathchild
well I'm a wrathchild
yeah wrathchild
comin' to get you
oooh yeaheyeah

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.

As I lay here lying on my bed,
sweet voices come into my head.
what it is I wanna know
Please won' t you tell me it's got to go

there' s a feeling that' s inside me
telling me to get away
but I' m so tired of living
I might as well end today

[Instrumental]

My life is so empty
nothing to live for.
My mind is all confusion,
'cos I defied the law.
When you weren't there to help me,
I lost my mind and ran.
I never had no trouble before this all began.

My life is so empty
nothing to live for.
My mind is all confusion,
'cos I defied the law.
When you weren't there to help me
I lost my mind and ran.
I never had no trouble before this all began.

I'm running away, no where to go.
I'm lost and tired and I just don't know. Yeah...

They say I killed a woman, they know it isn't true.
They're just trying to frame me, and all because of you. Yeah...

You walk through the subway,
His eyes burn a hole in your back.
A footstep behind you,
He lunges prepared for attack.

Scream for mercy,
He laughs as he's watching you bleed.
Killer behind you,
His blood lust defies all his needs.

My innocent victims
Are slaughtered with wrath and despise,
The mocking religion of hatred
That burns in the night.

I have no-one,
Am bound to destroy
All this greed.
A voice inside me,
Compelling to satisfy me.

I can see,
What a life's meant to be.
You'll never know,
How I came to foresee.

My faith in believing is stronger
Than lifelines and ties,
With the glimmer of metal
My moment is ready to strike.

The death call arises,
A scream breaks the still of the night.
Another tomorrow
Remember to walk in the light.

I have found you,
And now there is no place to run.
Excitement shakes me,
Oh God help me what have I done.


Yeah I've done it again!

He walks through the subway
His eyes burn a hole through your back.
A footstep behind you
He lunges prepared for attack.

Scream for mercy,
He laughs as he's watching you bleed.
Killer behind you,
His blood lust defies all his needs.

Look out I'm coming for you!

Thinking of an age old dream,
Places I have never seen.
Fantasies lived times before,
I split my brain, melt through the floor.

Over clouds my mind will fly,
Forever now I can't think why,
My body tries to leave my soul,
Is it me? I just don't know.

Memories rising from the past,
The future shadows overcast.
Something's clutching at my head,
Through the darkness I'll be led.

Oh another time, another place,
Oh well another smile on another face.
When you see me floating up beside you,
You get the feeling that all my love's inside of you.

[guitar solo]

Please take me away
Take me away
So far away.

Please take me away
Take me away
So far away.

Please take me away
Take me away
So far away.

Thinking of an age old dream,
Places I have never seen.
Fantasies lived times before,
I split my brain, melt through the floor.

Over clouds my mind will fly,
Forever now I can't think why,
My body tries to leave my soul,
Is it me? I just don't know.

Memories rising from the past,
The future shadows overcast.
Something's clutching at my head,
Through the darkness I'll be led.

Oh another time, another place,
Oh well another smile on another face.
When you see me walking up beside you
You get the feeling that all my love's inside of you.

Please take me away
Take me away
So far away.

Please take me away
Take me away
So far away.

Please take me away
Take me away
So far awaaaay

Look out now baby won't you take me away,
Sitting here I think it's gonna be a new day.

Gonna get my song 'til I can't go on,
Gonna keep on roaming gotta sing my song.

Gonna cuddle up to you tonight.
Gonna get you feeling so secure.

Gonna keep on roaming gotta sing my song.
