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) |
