Lyrics

[00:27] So long ago, I don't remember when
[00:31] That's when they say I lost my only friend
[00:36] Well, they said she died easy of a broken heart disease
[00:40] As I listened through the cemetery trees
[00:53] I seen the sun comin' up at the funeral at dawn
[00:58] The long broken arm of human law
[01:03] Now, it always seemed such a waste
[01:05] She always had a pretty face
[01:07] I wondered why she hung around this place
[03:53][02:32][01:19] Hey, come on try a little
[03:59][02:37][01:23] Nothing is forever
[04:02][02:39][01:26] There's got to be something better than
[04:04][02:42][01:28] In the middle
[04:06][02:44][01:30] But me and Cinderella
[04:08][02:46][01:32] We put it all together
[04:10][02:48][01:34] We can drive it home
[04:13][02:53][01:40] With one headlight
[01:49] She said it's cold
[01:51] It feels like Independence Day
[01:54] And I can't break away from this parade
[01:58] But there's got to be an opening
[02:01] Somewhere here in front of me
[02:03] Through this maze of ugliness and greed
[02:07] And I seen the sun up ahead
[02:09] At the county line bridge
[02:12] Sayin' all there's good and nothingness is dead
[02:16] We'll run until she's out of breath
[02:18] She ran until there's nothin' left
[02:21] She hit the end, it's just her window ledge
[03:11] Well, this place is old
[03:13] It feels just like a beat up truck
[03:16] I turn the engine, but the engine doesn't turn
[03:20] Well, it smells of cheap wine and cigarettes
[03:23] This place is always such a mess
[03:25] Sometimes I think I'd like to watch it burn
[03:29] I'm so alone, and I feel just like somebody else
[03:34] Man, I ain't changed, but I know I ain't the same
[03:39] But somewhere here in between the city walls of dyin' dreams
[03:43] I think of death, it must be killin' me...
