Verse 1

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

Chorus 1

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   
I never will      

Verse 2

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

Chorus 2

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 ---- know-know-know, know-know know

Bridge

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, yea-eah

Verse 3

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 no one shed a tear
Yeah, when they found you dangling, well no one shed a tear
Bm G N.C
And when they found you hanging, why would they shed a tear?
N.C. Bm Gmaj7 D Asus4
Why shed one tear?

Chorus 3

Well now I know, yeah, now I know 
I look at strangers different than I did a year ago
Yeah you know Bernie, it's my closest friends I'd better get to know  

Outro

Yeah I'd better get to know  
Well I'd better get to know (well now I know, well now I know)
I'd better get to know (well now I know, well now I know)
I'd better get to know (well now I know, well now I know)
Yeah I'd better get to know, know know, know know, know know
              
              
              
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yea-eah
