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
    I seen the sun comin' 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
  So I wondered how 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
  But me & 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 to be an opening
  Somewhere here in front of me
  Through this maze of ugliness and greed
  And I seen the sun up ahead
  At the county line bridge
  Sayin' all there's good and nothingness is dead
  We'll run until she's out of breath
  She ran until there's nothin' left
  She hit the end-it's just her window ledge
    [chorus]
    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 & 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 the city walls of dyin' dreams
  I think her death it must be killin' me
    [chorus]
