So Long Bernie
It's like watching murder through your fingers at the theater
Like finding out Klaus Barbie was your neighbor, only weirder
And when I saw you on the tube
With a six foot cop on either side of you
That's when I knew
That's when I knew
That's when I knew
All the pain that was shacked up inside you
Well so long Bernie
You're the friend I never knew and never will
I never will
She didn't even know your name
But you put a six inch blade inside her all the same
She couldn't possibly know why
When you became Doctor Jekyll you knew you had to hide
Yeah when you became Doctor Jekyll you knew you had to hide
Well now I know
Well now I know
All the pain that was in your mind is still inside your soul
Well so long Bernie
You're the friend I'll never know
I'll never know
I'll never know
No, no, no, no no no
You're the beast inside us all
The straw that breaks
The wire that snaps
You're all the pressure built up in this pitiful machine
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Well now your mind is full of blood
A simple scream in place of every single thing you've done
They found her in a field
And when they found you swinging well no one shed a tear
Yeah when they found you dangling well no one shed a tear
And when they found you hanging why would they shed a tear
Why shed one tear
Well now I know
Well now I know
I look at strangers different than I did a year ago
And you know Bernie it's my closest friends I better get to know
I better get to know
I better get to know
(Well now I know, well now I know)
I better get to know
(Well now I know, well now I know)
I better get to know
(Well now I know, well now I know)
Yeah I better get to know, know, know, know, know
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
