Vic Chesnutt Lyrics
"Bernadette and Her Crowd"

I was shivering I'll admit it.
I had nothing better to do.
Except to wheeze my lazy wheeze.
"Bernadette where are you?"

She gets much acclamation
For such a self-ordained Faustian
Bernadette doesn't like doubters.
She wants to fight in the coliseum!

What can you tell me of Therese and Isabelle?
Was it just fate that brought them together
Or did they will their usual union?
In cahoots or love or all of the above?
I was sputtering.

But I got over it after hours of tireless review
Under the gracious and analytical hand
"Bernadette I honor you."
"Bernadette I love you some."
