can you keep it rocking in a world that's standing still?

Look at all those fancy clothes
but these could keep us warm just like those
and what about your soul is it cold
is it straight from the mold and ready to be sold
and cars and phones and diamond rings
those are only removable things
and what about your mind does it shine
or are there things that concern you more than your time

gone going gone everything gone give a damn
gone be the birds when they dont want to sing
gone people all awkward with their things, gone

look at you out to make a deal
you try to be appealing but you loose your appeal
what about those shoes youre in today
theyll do no good on the bridges youve burnt along the way

you willing to sell anything, gone with your herd
leave your footprints and well shame them with our words
gone people all careless and consumed, gone

gone going gone everything gone give a damn
gone be the birds if they dont want to sing
gone people all awkward with their things, gone

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 comin' 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
So I wondered how she hung around this place

Hey, come on try a little
Nothing is forever
There's got to be something better than
In the middle
But me & Cinderella
We put it all together
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
And I seen the sun up ahead
At the county line bridge
Sayin' all there's good and nothingness is dead
We'll run until she's out of breath
She ran until there's nothin' left
She hit the end-it's just her window ledge

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'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 dyin' dreams
I think her death it must be killin' me

Don't use me
Don't tease me
Don't hurt me
Don't mess with my head
Don't flaunt me
Don't laugh at me
Talk about me
Or ignore what i said

But you can treat me good
Anytime you like
Show me some kindness if I'm lucky tonight
You can treat me good anytime at all

A little care's all I'm asking for

Don't try me
Lie to Me
Patronise me
Talk down to my friends
Don't neglect me
Forget me
Be angry at me
Say Things to offend

But you can treat me good
Anytime you like
Show me some kindness is I fluke it right
You can treat me good anytime at all
A little care's all I'm asking for

Everytime I get home
Your suspicious of where I've been
And who I've seen
Your're so jealous of any little thing
That takes up my time
It don't have to be that way baby

Don't hit me
Frighten me
Threaten me
And order me around
Don't guilt me
Pressure me
Make demands on me
Keep putting me down

But you can treat me good
Anytime you like
Show me some kindness if I'm lucky tonight
You can treat me good anytime at all
A little care's all I'm asking for
