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

 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

 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 seedy walls of dyin' dreams
 I think her death, it must be killin' me
