Bernadette

Bernadette, off in the woods
Bored of the city you know
Blackberry brambles that tug at your corduroy
Compelling you to take it slow

Navigate labyrinthine
Desire paths in the undergrowth
Here and there plastic bags, tattered shoes and shattered glass
Reminding you you're not the first

Tell me what you're thinking 'bout Bernadette
How you gonna do yourself right
In the middle of the night
Take a walk past the Amtrak station
Think it's time for a long vacation

Can't afford a ticket
Justify the carbon footprint
Ride a bicycle to Berlin
When you can't realize
International dreams
It's back to the woods again

Why's it look so easy in the movies
Just want to make a getaway
You say your friends have got it worse than you
And you shouldn't complain
Well that doesn't mean that you're alright

So tell me what you're thinking 'bout Bernadette
How you gonna do yourself right
In the middle of the night
Take a walk past the Greyhound station
Think it's time for a long vacation
