| 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 glass at the window up above
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.
"And remember to free
faraway from the unbridled, and the impudent,
the malicious, and the unlucky.
For these
being full of bad demons or rays are maleficent,
and like lepers and people striken with
plague,
they harm not only by touch but even by proximity and by sight." (Dig it!)
(Quote
from Marsilio Ficino, Italian philosopher [1433-1499])
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 pane (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 sadly following
(set to follow?)
Now I know.
Now I know.
Now I know. |
