1. Running Free (live)
2. Sanctuary (live)
3. Murders In The Rue Morgue (live)
1. Running Free (live)
Just sixteen, a pick-up truck, out of money, out of luck
I've got noplace to call my own, hit the gas and here I go
I'm running free, yeah! I'm running free
I'm running free, yeah! I'm running free
Spent the night in an L.A. jail and listened to the sirens wail
They ain't got a thing on me, I'm running wild, I'm running free, yeah!
I'm running free, yeah! I'm running free
I'm running free, yeah! I'm running free
-- Get out my way!
I'm running free, yeah! I'm running free
I'm running free, yeah! I'm running free
Pulled her at the Bottle Top - whiskey, dancing, disco hop
Now all the boys are after me and that's the way it's gonna be
I'm running free, yeah! I'm running free...
2. Sanctuary (live)
Out of the winter came a war horse of steel
I've never killed a woman before, but I know how it feels
I know you'd have gone insane if you saw what I saw
So now I've got to look for sanctuary from the law
I met up with a 'slinger last night to keep me alive
He spends all his money on gambling and guns to survive
I know you'd have gone insane if you saw what I saw
So now I've got to look for sanctuary from the law
So give me sanctuary from the law and I'll be alright
Just give me sanctuary from the law and love me tonight, tonight...
I know you'd have gone insane if you saw what I saw
So now I've got to look for sanctuary from the law
I can laugh at the wind, I can howl at the rain
Down in the canyon or out in the plain
I know you'd have gone insane if you saw what I saw
So now I've got to look for sanctuary from the law
So give me sanctuary from the law and I'll be alright
Just give me sanctuary from the law and love me tonight, tonight...
3. Murders In The Rue Morgue (live)
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 'vause 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...
