One Headlight

The Wallflowers

Bringing Down The Horse

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
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 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
And 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

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 her 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
