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 listen through the cemetery trees I see the sun coming up at the funeral at dawn The long broken arm of human love Now it always seemed such a waste She always had a pretty face So I wondered how she hung around this place Ooh 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, oh 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 see the sun up ahead at the county line bridge Saying all is good and nothing else is dead You run until she's out of breath She ran until there's nothing left She hit the end, it's just her window ledge Ooh 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, oh 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 What 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, I feel just like somebody else Man, I ain't change, but I know I ain't the same But somewhere here in between The city walls and dying dreams I think of death and must be killing me 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, oh With one headlight
