I'm walking down times square in the electric daylight
The sailors on shore leave stand out in their perfect white.
I'm up here with my spying gla** at the window of the world
For better or for worse - it's a perverse universe, my love.
Now i know, i should have never walked over the bridge i burned
Now i know, somehow i don't feel so alone.
[the sermon]
You mutter underneath your breath - it echoes round the world
Everybody comes from nowhere.
There is hope, it loops up in the air
Now i know, i should have never walked over the bridge i burned
Now i know, somehow i don't feel so alone.
You said i used to be handsome if you screwed up your eyes
Professors and vampires drank up all the tears i cried.
Now there's a bird at my window, he feeds upon the pain
And sometimes he sings to me - a mocking bird in the twilight of infamy.
Now i know, i should have never walked over the bridge i burned
Now i know, somehow i don't feel so alone.
Now i know, i should have never walked over the bridge i burned
Now i know, they've burned one sinner and the others are set to follow
Now i know.
Now i know.
Now i know.
