The Bridge I Burned
Quelle: Spotify
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 glass 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.
