The Lowest Of The Low - So Long Bernie lyrics

It's like watching murder through your fingers at the theatre It's like finding out Klaus Barbie was your neighbour... only weirder And when I saw you on the tube... With a six-foot cop on either side of you... That's when I knew That's when I knew, that's when I knew All the pain that was shacked up inside of you Well, so long Bernie you're the friend I never knew And never will I never will She didn't even know your name But you put a six-inch blade inside her all the same She couldn't possibly know why And when you became Doctor Jekyll you knew you had to hide And when you became Doctor Jekyll you knew you had to hide So now I know, yeah, now I know All the pain that was in your mind is still inside your soul Well so long Bernie you're the friend I'll never know I'll never know I'll never know Know, know, know You're the beast inside us all The straw that breaks The wire that snaps You're all the pressure built up in this pitiful machine Yeah, yeah, yeah So, now your mind is full of blood A simple scream in place of every single thing you've done They found her in a field And when they found you swinging, well no one shed a tear When they found you dangling, well, no one shed a tear Ah, when they found you hanging... Why would they shed a tear? Why shed one tear? Well now I know, yeah, now I know I look at strangers different than I did a year ago But you know Bernie it's my closest friends I'd better get to know I'd better get to know I'd better get to know Now I know, now I know I'd better get to know Now I know, now I know I'd better get to know Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
