The Bridge I Burned

Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
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 oh 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 oh Now I know, I should have never walked over the bridge I burned oh 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 oh Now I know, I should have never walked over the bridge I burned oh Now I know, somehow I don`t feel so alone Now I know, I should have never walked over the bridge I burned oh Now I know, they've burned one sinner and the others are set to follow Now I know Now I know Now I know
