One

So long ago I don't remember when

That's when they say I lost my only friend

They say she died easy of a broken heart disease

As I listened through them cemetery trees

I seen the sun coming up at the funeral at dawn

The long broken arm of human law

Now it always seems 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 meadow

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

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

Hey, hey, hey

Come on try a little

Nothing is forever

There's got to be something better than in the meadow

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 like 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

These city walls of dying dreams

I think of death it must be killing me

Hey, hey, hey

Come on try a little

Nothing is forever

There's got to be something better than in the meadow

But me and Cinderella

We put it all together

We can drive it home

With one headlight

Oh we can drive it home, baby

With one headlight
