Me and Cinderella Lyrics

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've seen the sun coming 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 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've seen the sun up ahead
At the county line bridge.
Saying all there's good and nothingness is dead,
We'll run until she's out of breath.
She ran until there's nothing 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 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 dying dreams,
I think her death must be killing me.
