The Wallflowers
So long ago I don't remember when
That's when they say I lost my only friend
They said she died easy of a broken heart disease
As I listened through the cemetery trees
I see 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 if 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
Me and 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
I see the sign up ahead
At the county line bridge
Saying "all there's good and nothingness is dead"
Run until she's out of breath
She ran until there's nothing left
She hit the end, it's just her window ledge
Hey come on try a little
Nothing is forever
There's got to be something better than
In the middle
Me and Cinderella
Put it all together
We can drive it home
With one headlight
This place is old
It feels just like a beat up truck
I turn the engine but the engine doesn't turn
It smells of cheap wine and 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 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
There's got to be something better than
In the middle
Me and Cinderella
Put it all together
We can drive it home
With one headlight
So long ago I don't remember when
That's when they say I lost my only friend
They said she died easy of a broken heart disease
As I listened through the cemetery trees
I see 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 if she hung around this place
