) 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 I seen the sun coming up at the funeral at dawn I've long broken all of human law It always seemed such a waste, she always had a pretty face I wondered why she hung around this place |

(

) 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 I seen the sign up ahead at the county line bridge Saying all is good and nothingness is dead Runnin' till she's out of breath, she ran until there's nothing left She hit the end, it's just her window ledge Hey hey hey... Come on try a little, nothing is forever There's got to be something better than in the middle Me and Cinderella put it all together We can drive it home... with one headlight This place is old, feels just like a beat up truck I turn the engine but the engine doesn't turn With smells of cheap ol' wine and cigarettes, this place is always such a mess Sometimes I think I'd like to watch it burn So alone I feel just like somebody else Man I ain't changed but I know I ain't the same But somewhere here in between these city walls and dyin' dreams I think her death it must be killing me Hey hey hey... Come on try a little, nothing is forever There's got to be something better than in the middle Me and Cinderella put it all together We can drive it home... with one headlight

Sirens ring, shots rang out

A stranger cries, screams out loud I had my world strapped against my back I held my hands, never knew how to act Well the same black line that was drawn on you Was drawn on me, and now it's drawn me in 6th avenue heartache Below me there was a homeless man Was singing a songs I knew complete On the steps alone, his guitar in hand His 50 years he stood where he stands Well the same black line that was drawn on you Was drawn on me, and now it's drawn me in 6th avenue heartache Well the same black line that was drawn on you Was drawn on me, and now it's drawn me in 6th avenue heartache Walking home on those streets The river winds move my feet The subway steam like silhouettes in dreams Stood by me just like moonbeams Well the same black line that was drawn on you Was drawn on me, and now it's drawn me in 6th avenue heartache Well the same black line that was drawn on you Was drawn on me, and now it's drawn me in 6th avenue heartache Look out the window, down upon that street I am gone like at midnight was that man But I sit here with six strings laid against that wall And all his things, they all look so small I got my fingers crossed on a shooting star Just like me, just moved on Well the same black line that was drawn on you Was drawn on me, and now it's drawn me in 6th avenue heartache Well the same black line that was drawn on you Was drawn on me, and now it's drawn me in 6th avenue heartache

Is you are exactly the same as you used to be
Repeat intro
One boy lives in a tower With bow and arrow and the artificial heart With his girl late at the sauna He loaded the cannon with a jealous appetite They say that children now, they come in all ages And maybe sometimes old men die With little boy faces The only difference that I see Is you are exactly the same as you used to be

I feel pretty good

I feel alright
C

And I've been thinkin' maybe
C

I could spend the night I know you've been sad I know I've been bad But if you'd let me I'd make you ribbons from a paper bag
Em
D
Josephine, you're so good to me
C
G
And I know it ain't easy
Em
Am
Josephine, you're so sweet
C
D
C
You must taste just like sugar and tangerines I won't make a sound Sleep on the ground When you wake I will Drive you into town I missed your smile Your schoolgirl style But I never had much fun And maybe the very first mile Josephine, you're so good to me And I know it ain't easy Josephine, you're so sweet You must taste just like sugar and tangerines
D
Don't you know, I watched you
Em
Walkin' home from school?
Am
Your friends on the old playgrounds
C
D
You never looked so down
Bm
Won't you come and help me
Em
With these cuts of mine?
Am
I've disconnected my heart
C
D

G
And cut myself on the wires, Josephine And I know I was wrong I knew all along But I got so far from my home I never thought I'd be so lonesome Josephine, you're so good to me And I know it ain't easy Josephine, you're so sweet You must taste just like sugar and tangerines
