lyrics
The Tell-Tale Heart (lyrics)
by Joe D’Amico
Of object or passion there was none
The old man’s gold I did not want
It was his evil eye, a vultures eye
That I despised
For eight nights a stalked him in his sleep
For eight days never kinder could I be
Then late one night I took his life
He let out one last cry
Can you hear the tell-tale heart
Beating through the floor boards
Bleeding through the celling below
I said no no, no no I don't
I silenced the beating of his heart
Concealment was no less than an art
Under the floor boards hid his lifeless limbs
It was a foolproof plan
Can you hear the tell-tale heart
Beating through the floor boards
Bleeding through the celling below
I said no no, no no I don't
At twilight the police at my door
The neighbors heard a sound the night before
With confidence I let them in
"It could have been the wind"
With my downfall now I will proceed
I heard the beating of his heart if you will believe?
It was the loudest sound, heard miles around
It shook the ground, ohhhh
Can you hear the tell-tale heart
Beating through the floor boards
Bleeding through the celling below
I said no no, no no I don't
I said no no, no no I don't
I said no no, no no, no no no, oh yes I do!
