|
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 |
