On the 14th of October 
Very early in the morning 
The results of a crime were found 
In the stables of Le Père Choupant 
The old man had discovered 
To his absolute dismay 
The dislocated body 
Of Elizabeth Dumoutier 
So 
The police was called in 
I was handed the inquiry 
Upon arriving on the scene 
Some photographs were shot 
A couple of small time journalists 
Were raising their fists among the crowd 
Shouting: 
“Hey c'est Austin le coupable!!” 
“C'est lui qui a fait le coup je vous dis moi!” 
“Ben oui, c'est Austin quoi, merde!” 
“Eh bien alors là, comment c'est que vous savez ça vous 
deux?” 
“Ben c'est normal, tout le monde les a vus quitter le 
bal ensemble hier soir!” 
Walking, walking, 
On the tight rope of insanity 
On the verge of loosing mind 
Walking, walking, 
On the tight rope of insanity 
On the verge of loosing mind 
The man was found on a nearby road 
Wandering without a goal 
In a complete state of amnesia 
And his hair filled with straw 
Though the whole thing seemed unreal 
It soon became quite clear 
That Austin, the author of this crime 
Needed swift assistance 
“Allez, allez, monsieur le commissaire maintenant 
il va faire le coup de gars qui ne se rappelled de 
rien!” 
“Toi je t'interdis de publier tes salads dans ton 
canard de merde 
jusqu'à ce que le procès soit terminé” 
(The Commissioner) 
“Look Pal 
Your rag doesn't get any of this 
Until the trial is over, clear?” 
Walking, walking, 
On the tight rope of insanity 
On the verge of loosing mind 
Walking, walking, 
On the tight rope of insanity 
On the verge of loosing mind 
SayÂ… Say to meÂ… 
Please say that this can't be! 
SayÂ… Say to meÂ… 
Please say that this can't be! 
Oh sayÂ… Say to meÂ… 
Please say that this can't be! 
SayÂ… Say to meÂ… 
Please say that this can't be! 
Exhaustive study on the subject 
Led experts to conclude 
Austin had been the victim of a strange case 
Of split personality 
The trial neared its end 
And though the facts had been exposed 
The crowd still wanted blood 
Well, they were in for a big surprise! 
(Le Judge) 
“La cour, levez-vous!” 
Walking, walking, 
On the tight rope of insanity 
On the verge of loosing mind 
Walking, walking, 
On the tight rope of insanity 
On the verge of loosing mind 
SayÂ… Say to meÂ… 
Please say that this can't be! 
SayÂ… Say to meÂ… 
Please say that this can't be! 
SayÂ… Say to meÂ… 
Please say that this can't be! 
SayÂ… Say to meÂ… 
Please say that this can't be! 
SayÂ… Say to meÂ… 
Please say that this can't be! 
SayÂ… Say to meÂ… 
Please say that this can't be! 
SayÂ… Say to meÂ… 
Please say that this can't be! 
SayÂ… Say to meÂ… 
Please say that this can't be!
