ơŋɛ ɧɛąɖƖıɠɧɬ (one headlight) Lyrics

[Intro]
Yeah

[Verse 1]
So long ago I don't remember when
They say that's when I lost my only friend
They said, "She died easy of a broken heart disease"
As I listened through the cemetery trees
I see 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 wonder how she hung around this place

[Chorus]
Hey, so come and try a little, nothing is forever
There's got to be something better than in the middle
But me and Cinderella put it all together
We can drive it home, with one headlight, with one headlight

[Verse 2]
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 see the sun coming up 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
[Chorus]
Hey, come and try a little, nothing is forever
There's got to be something better than in the middle
But me and Cinderella put it all together
We can drive it home, with one headlight, with one headlight

[Bridge]
Well, this place is old, it feel just like a beat up truck
I turn the engine, but the engine doesn't turn
And it smells like 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 dying dreams
I think her death, it must be killing me (It must be killing me)

[Chorus]
Come and try a little, nothing is forever
There's got to be something better than in the middle
But me and Cinderella put it all together
We can drive it home, with one headlight, one headlight
One headlight, one headlight (One headlight)
