Tell Tale Heart Lyrics


At midnight for thirteen nights

I went to the old man's house

It took an hour or so to open his door

Being quiet as a mouse

My light shone in and upon his eyes

As I stared in the pitch of night

A scream cries out

And down with my hand

I slit his throat with my knife

Eyes that drove me crazy, crazy

Stopped me in my tracks

Eyes so cold and hazy, hazy

Stopped me in my tracks

Eyes that drove me crazy, crazy

Stabbed me in my back

Eyes so cold and hazy, hazy

Stabbed me in my back

I drained his blood into the tub

As I cut away his parts

I took up the floor I put him in

The only way to think smart

I heard a knock just as I was done

The police standing there in the light

They'd heard a scream

I rushed to the scene

I laughed, said I screamed in the night

Eyes that drove me crazy, crazy

Stopped me in my tracks

Eyes so cold and hazy, hazy

Stabbed me in my back

Eyes that drove me crazy, crazy

Stopped me in my tracks

Eyes so cold and hazy, hazy

Stabbed me in my back

I was so sure I asked them in

I asked them to stay for a while

They agreed sat for a tea

Both drinking with a smile

I felt a pounding inside my head

Tried to cover the pain

The pounding just wouldn't stop

I confessed I was truly insane

I was so sure I asked them in

I asked them to stay for a while

They agreed sat for a tea

Both drinking with a smile

I felt a pounding inside my head

Tried to cover the pain

The pounding just wouldn't stop

I confessed I was truly insane

Eyes that drove me crazy, crazy

Stopped me in my tracks

Eyes so cold and hazy, hazy

Stopped me in my tracks

Eyes that drove me crazy, crazy

Stabbed me in my back

Eyes so cold and hazy, hazy

Stabbed me in my back
