So long ago, I don't remember when
That's when they say I lost my only friend
But since she died easy of a broken heart disease
I listened through the cemetery trees
I 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
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'll 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
Come on, try a little
Nothing is forever
There's got to be something better than
In the middle
