Elvis Costello - The Bridge I Burned Lyrics

Font:

Align:

Im walking down times square in the electric daylight

The sailors on shore leave stand out in their perfect white.

Im up here with my spying glass at the window of the world

For better or for worse - its a perverse universe, my love.

Now I know, I should have never walked over the bridge I burned

Now I know, somehow I dont 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 dont 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 theres 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 dont feel so alone.

Now I know, I should have never walked over the bridge I burned

Now I know, theyve burned one sinner and the others are set to follow

Now I know.

Now I know.

Now I know.
