Wallflowers - One Headlight lyrics

Album: Bringing Down the Horse (1996)

So long ago, I do not remember when
That is 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
With the long broken arm of human law
Now, it always seemed such a waste
She always had a pretty face
I wondered why she hung around this place

(CHORUS)
Hey...
C´mon try a little
Nothing´s forever
Theres got to be smth better than
In the middle
But me & Cinderella
We put it all together
We can drive it home
With one headlight

She said it is cold
It feels like Independence Day
And I cannot break away from this parade
But theres got to be an opening
Somewhere here in front of me
Through this maze of ugliness & greed
And I seen the sun up ahead
At the county line bridge
Sayin´ all is good & nothingness is dead
We will run till she has out of breath
She ran till there isn´thin´ left
She hit the end, it is 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 & cigarettes
This place is always such a mess
Sometimes I think I would like to watch it burn
I am so alone, & I feel just like somebody else
Man, I aint changed, but I know I aint the same
But somewhere here in between the city walls of dyin´ dreams
I think your death, it must be killin´ me...

Hey, hey, hey
C´mon try a little
Nothing´s forever
Theres got to be smth better than
In the middle
But me & Cinderella
We put it all together
We can drive it home
With one headlight
