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

 I wondered how she hung around this place

Hey,

come on try a little

Nothing is forever

got to be something better than

 In the middle

 me & Cinderella

 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

Hey,

come on try a little

Nothing is forever

got to be something better than

 In the middle

 me & Cinderella

 put it all together

 We can drive it home

 With one headlight

 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

Hey,

come on try a little

Nothing is forever

got to be something better than

 In the middle

 me & Cinderella

 put it all together

 We can drive it home

 With one headlight
