Live 04 Sep 1997 version
| Jakob Dylan: | So long ago, I don't remember when, that's when they say I lost my only friend |
| They said she died easy of a broken heart disease as I listened through the cemetery trees | |
| Jakob Dylan: | I seen the sun coming up at the funeral at dawn with the long broken arm of human law |
| Now it always seemed like such a waste, she always had a pretty face, I wondered why she hung around this place | |
| Jakob Dylan: | Hey |
| Dyland and Springsteen: | Come on try a little, nothing is forever |
| There's got to be something better than in the middle | |
| Me and Cinderella we put it all together | |
| Jakob Dylan: | We can drive it home with one headlight |
| Bruce Springsteen: | She said it's cold and 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 | |
| I seen the sign up ahead at the county line bridge saying all is 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 | |
| Bruce Springsteen: | Hey |
| Dyland and Springsteen: | Come on try a little, nothing is forever |
| There's got to be something better than in the middle | |
| Me and Cinderella we put it all together | |
| Jakob Dylan: | We can drive it home with one headlight |
| Bruce Springsteen: | This place is old and it feels just like a beat up truck, I turn the engine but the engine doesn't turn |
| Jakob Dylan: | 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 |
| Bruce Springsteen: | I'm so alone and I feel just like somebody else, man, I ain't changed but I know I ain't the same |
| Jakob Dylan: | But somewhere here in between the city walls of dying dreams I think your death it must be killing me |
| Jakob Dylan: | Hey, hey, hey |
| Dyland and Springsteen: | Come on try a little, nothing is forever |
| There's got to be something better than in the middle | |
| Me and Cinderella we put it all together | |
| Jakob Dylan: | We can drive it home with one headlight |
