It is pretty much telling the story from the sailor whos monkey killed the girl's point of veiw. Harris dont mention the monkey but it could be implyed that the killer is an ourang outang and it wouldent contradict with the lyrics. It seems to be slightly tweaked but its not to far off from the real story I actualy just finished reading it 5 mins ago, its pretty good I recomend it, you cant go wrong with Edgar Allen Poe. ***SPOILER TO THE NOVEL BELOW***** Basicaly what happens in the book is a sailor captures a ourang outang (because there extramly valuable) in the jungle, and takes it to Paris to sell. The monkey escapes breaks into a house and violently kills 2 girls. The sailor sees the whole thing through the window and gets scared and runs away. The screams of the murder draw alot of attention, and the murders become a huge mystery in Paris. So 2 detectives are there trying to solve the crime and figure out that an ourang outang could of been the only thing that could of killed the girls in the way they wer killed. ( getting shoved up a chimney upside down after being strangled. And haveing her face carved by a razor and her head choped off). But anyways the sailor comes back and tells the detectives what happened and what he saw, (he is scared to death that hes gona be wrongly accused guilty even though he is innocent). He is found innocent and the story ends.

Harris was inspired by Poe's novel with the same title. It's about a guy who is initially convinced to be falsely accused of the murder of two girls, but eventually finds out that he is a schizophrenic killer. See the 2 lines before the last chorus...
