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*s
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

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
