Bernadette (IAMX cover)

You and me in our playhouse,
Living in a veil 
We never need to go without.
Memories bring no joy or peace.
We are alone
And all we need.
Tuning out of the poison,
Every waking day,
Intolerance to overcome.
Fortunes won by the boys with the guns,
We are alone,
Nowhere to run.

Bernadette,
You are my liberty,
I celebrate the day
That you changed my history.
Oh, life and death
Will always lead you into love and regret,
But you have answers
And I have the key for the door of Bernadette.

Winding down our emotions,
Family and friends
Becoming ghosts to dream of and pass on.
Time will erase every face every name,
We are alone,
No-one to blame...

Bernadette,
You are my liberty,
I celebrate the day
That you changed my history.
Oh, life and death
Will always lead you into love and regret,
But you have answers
And I have the key for the door of Bernadette.
