The Wallflowers - One Headlight

So long ago I don't remember when That's when they said I lost my only friend Well they said she died easy of a broke heart disease As I listened through the cemetery trees

I seen the sun comin' up at the funeral at dawn With 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-ey-ey Come on try a little Nothing is forever Got to be something better than in the middle

Me and Cinderella We 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 be an opening Somewhere here in front of me

Through this maze of ugliness and greed And I've seen the sign up ahead at the county line bridge Sayin' all is good and nothingness is dead We run until she's out of breath She ran until there's nothing left She hit the end, just her window ledge

Hey-ey-ey Come on try a little Nothing is forever 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 doesn't turn Well 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 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

Hey, hey, hey-ey-ey Come on try a little Nothing is forever There's got to be something better than in the middle

Me and Cinderella We put it all together We can drive it home With one headlight
