So long ago, I don't remember when
|
That's when they say I lost my only friend
|
Well they said she died easy of a broken heart disease
|
As I listened through the cemetery trees
|
|
I seen the sun comin' up at the funeral at dawn
|
The long broken arm of human law
|
Now it always seemed such a waste
|
She always had a pretty face
|
So I wondered how she hung around this place
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Hey, come on try a little
|
Nothing is forever
|
There's got to be something better than
|
In the middle
|
But me & Cinderella
|
We put it all together
|
We can drive it home
|
With one headlight
|
|
She said it's cold
|
It feels like Independence Day
|
And I can't break away from this parade
|
But there's got to be an opening
|
Somewhere here in front of me
|
Through this maze of ugliness and greed
|
And I seen the sun up ahead
|
At the county line bridge
|
Sayin' all there's good and nothingness is dead
|
We'll run until she's out of breath
|
She ran until there's nothin' left
|
She hit the end-it's just her window ledge
|
|
[chorus]
|
|
Well this place is old
|
It feels just like a beat up truck
|
I turn the engine, but the engine doesn't turn
|
Well it smells of cheap wine & cigarettes
|
This place is always such a mess
|
Sometimes I think I'd like to watch it burn
|
I'm so alone, and I feel just like somebody else
|
Man, I ain't changed, but I know I ain't the same
|
But somewhere here in between the city walls of dyin' dreams
|
I think her death it must be killin' me
|
|
[chorus]
