For these being full of bad demons or rays are maleficent, and like lepers and people stricken with plague, they harm not only by touch but even by proximity and by sight." (Dig it!) (Quote from Marsilio Ficino, Italian philosopher [1433-1499])   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 beats upon the pane 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, some how 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 selling firewood   Now I know Now I know Now I know
