The Bridge I Burned Lyrics - Elvis Costello

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
