One Headlight - The Wallflowers 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 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 I wondered how she hung around this place Chorus: Hey, Come on try a little Nothing is forever There's got to be something better than In the middle But me an Cinderella We put it all together We can drive it home With one headlight She says 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 see the sun up ahead At the county line bridge Saying all there's good and nothiness is dead We ran 'til she's out of breath We ran until there's nothing left She's hit the edge-it's just her window ledge Chorus 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 fell just like somebody else Man, I know I ain't changed, but I know I ain't the same But somewhere here between the city walls of dying dreams I think her death it must be killing me Chorus |
