Lyrics

a hallucinating man
doesn’t understand
those around him
don’t share the experience

and he may grab his friend by the sleeve
point and say do ya see?
do ya see?
do ya see?!
do ya see?!

but they can’t
and if they’re honest they’ll say it
or they may nod yes
either way
no matter what they say

it’s all in his head
it’s all in his head
it’s all in his head
it’s all in his head

but now it’s later
3 AM in the morning
and rounding the corner
coming at you’s a figure

bathed in the street light
walking a strange dog
shuffling along in the middle of the street
it’s Bernard

and he’s real
this is real
this is real!
this is real!

and even thought the hallucinations have stopped
it all seems directed by David Lynch
and you wish he’d yell cut
and they’d bring up the lights

and it’s all your head
it’s all in your head
it’s all in your head
it’s all in your head

but there’s no David Lynch
not in this dying backwater
it’s just you and your friend and Bernard
and he’s seen you

yeah here he comes
he’s coming your way

and wouldn’t it be nice
if you liked Bernard
wouldn’t it be swell
if Bernard was a dear
and wouldn’t it be sweet
but Bernard was never right

there’s no David Lynch
not in this dying backwater
there’s no David Lynch
not here

there’s no David Lynch
yeah there’s no David Lynch

and wouldn’t it be nice if you liked Bernard
but there’s no David Lynch
not here
and wouldn’t it be swell if Benard were a dear
