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
