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

Hey, 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

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

Hey, 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

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
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

Hey, 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
