Elvis Costello - The Bridge I Burned lyrics

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.
