[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Pre-Chorus]

Hey

[Chorus]

Come on, try a little

Nothing is forever

There's got to be something better than

In the middle

But me and Cinderella

We'll put it all together

We can drive it home

With one headlight

[Verse 3]

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

[Verse 4]

And I seen the sign up ahead at the county line bridge

Saying all all is good and nothingness is dead

Well, runnin' til she's out of breath

She ran until there's nothing left

She hit the end, it's just her window ledge

[Pre-Chorus]

Hey

[Chorus]

Come on, try a little

Nothing is forever

There's 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

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 5]

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 'n' cigarettes

This place is always such a mess

Sometimes I think I'd like to watch it burn

[Verse 6]

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 dying dreams

I think her death, it must be killing me

[Pre-Chorus]

Hey, hey, hey

[Chorus]

Come on, try a little

Nothing is forever

There's 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
