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 universemy love.

Now I knowI should have never walked over the bridge I burned
Now I knowsomehow I don t feel so alone.

[the sermon]

You mutter underneath your breath - IT ECHOES ROUND THE WORLD
Everybody comes from nowhere.
There is hopeit loops up in the air

Now I knowI should have never walked over the bridge I burned
Now I knowsomehow 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 windowhe feeds upon the pain
and sometimes he sings to me - a mocking bird in the twilight of infamy.

Now I knowI should have never walked over the bridge I burned
Now I knowsomehow I don t feel so alone.
Now I knowI should have never walked over the bridge I burned
Now I knowthey ve burned one sinner and the others are set to follow

Now I know.
Now I know.
Now I know.
