One Headlight

So long ago I dont remember when
Thats 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 coming 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 why she hung around this place
Hey, come on try a little, nothing is forever
Theres got to be something better than in the middle
But me and Cinderella we put it all together
We can drive it home with one headlight
She said its cold, it feels like Independence Day
And I cant break away from this parade
But theres got to be an opening
Somewhere here in front of me
Through this maze of ugliness and greed
And I seen the sign up ahead at the county line bridge
Saying all is good and nothingness is dead
Run until shes out of breath
She ran until theres nothing left
She hit the end, its just her window ledge
Hey, come on try a little, nothing is forever
Theres got to be something better than in the middle
But me and Cinderella we 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 doesnt turn
Well it smells of cheap wine and cigarettes
This place is always such a mess
Sometimes I think Id like to watch it burn
Im so alone and I feel just like somebody else
Man, I aint changed, but Iknow I aint the same
But somewhere here in between
These city walls of dying dreams
I think her death it must be killing me
Hey, hey, hey! Come on try a little, nothing is forever
Theres got to be something better than in the middle
But me and Cinderella we put it all together
We can drive it home with one headlight
