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
