Bridge of Sorrow

Cigarette ends on a nightclub floor
 All the people you know are going to the door
 You danced all night tried again and again
 But you could breathe no life into the tired veins
 New Year's Eve it's the lowest tide
 There's a burning emptiness inside
 Out into the night and the winter's air
 But you know you can't face another year
 Don't go to the bridge of sorrow
 Don't go to the bridge of sorrow
 You don't belong to a respectable scheme
 You don't belong in the mainstream
 You don't belong in the material world
 You try to talk you were never heard
 So you're keeping to yourself
 Doing the best you can
 It's been this way since time began
 Don't go to the bridge of sorrow
 Don't go to the bridge of sorrow
 Who is to say what is the best to do
 When the world is as heavy as it is for you
 There is no comfort by the light of the moon
 Something is gonna give soon
 You've run away from the mother and father
 But you can't escape the heart of the matter
 'Cause all around you other lives are falling
 But voices are heard calling
 Don't go to the bridge of sorrow
 Don't go to the bridge of sorrow
