I turn the engine but the engine doesn't turn
Run until she's out of breath
Man, I ain't changed, but I know I ain't the same
Hey, come on try a little, nothing is forever
And I seen the sign up ahead at the county line bridge
She always had a pretty face
There's got to be something better than in the middle
The long broken arm of human law
But me and Cinderella we put it all together
I wondered why she hung around this place
These city walls of dying dreams
Sometimes I think I'd like to watch it burn
She said it's cold, it feels like Independence Day
She hit the end, it's just her window ledge
Through this maze of ugliness and greed
But me and Cinderella we put it all together
We can drive it home with one headlight
Well it smells of cheap wine and cigarettes
Now it always seemed such a waste
And I can't break away from this parade
I'm so alone and I feel just like somebody else
I think her death it must be killing me
Well they said she died easy of a broken heart disease
We can drive it home with one headlight
But there's got to be an opening
There's got to be something better than in the middle
This place is always such a mess
Well this place is old, it feels just like a beat up truck
Hey, hey, hey! Come on try a little, nothing is forever
But somewhere here in between
She ran until there's nothing left
Somewhere here in front of me
I seen the sun coming up at the funeral at dawn
Saying all is good and nothingness is dead
As I listened through the cemetery trees
But me and Cinderella we put it all together
There's got to be something better than in the middle
Hey, come on try a little, nothing is forever
