Lowest Of The Low So Long Bernie Lyrics

So Long Bernie Lyrics

It's like watching murder through your fingers at the theatre 

It's like finding out Klaus Barbie was your neighbour... 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 of you 

Well, so long Bernie you're the friend I never knew 

And 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 

And when you became Doctor Jekyll you knew you had to hide 



So now I know, yeah, 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 



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 



So, 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 noone shed a tear 

When they found you dangling, well, noone shed a tear 

Ah, when they found you hanging... 

Why would they shed a tear? 

Why shed one tear? 



Well now I know, yeah, now I know 

I look at strangers different than I did a year ago 

But you know Bernie it's my closest friends I'd better get to know
