lyrics

Walking down the road all alone
Doesn’t seem to matter anyway way I go
Each time I'm out on my own, looking for a thrill
People wanna treat me kind
Keep em working for you or they rob you blind
Give a little rope and if you slack the line they come in for the kill

Don't cry for me I'm halfway gone, trying to break through, trying to make sense to you
To you

Working til my debts are paid
Get a little older and your bed gets made
Bags get packed and plans get laid like puzzles upside down
A crown without a proper king
A funeral dove that never knew that it could sing
Or a classic love without a ring slow dancing in long lace gown

Don't cry for her she's halfway gone, wasted her youth, trying to make sense to you
To you

The evening never seems to end
Sleep away the morning when you're on the mend
Call you on the phone like an old best friend when business is slow
To dangle hope like show and tell
Anyone who's ever broken through your shell
Knows fondness ain't a simple spell that anyone can throw

Don't cry for them they're halfway gone, what's the point trying to make sense to you
To you

Sleeping in a back ­house; East LA
Little jasmine trellis on the garden gate
Those who do believe in fate will never tell you why
Speed freak crashed the neighbours shed
Found him in the morning he was halfway dead
Eyes rolled up inside his head he fell into the sky

Don't cry for him; he's halfway gone, moving his lips, trying to make sense to you
To you

One day we run out of time
Nothing good about it but it’s not unkind
World spins out upon a dime while the second line is playing
I’ll be glad when my time comes
Glad I made it out of these pretentious slums
Don’t cry for me if the deed is done there’s nothing more worth saying
Don’t cry for me I’m halfway gone I’ll never get free trying to make sense to you
To you
