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
