The Wallflowers 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 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/>I wondered why 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
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)
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 your death, it must be
killin' me...

Hey, hey, 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
