Short Side of Nothing

Dreams wash down the gutter

All my hopes in vain

Crows up on the rooftop

Laughing out my nameHere I am on the short side of nothing

Here I am on the short side of nothingWe danced all night as life stood by

We told another lie

Found a spot down by the roadside

There I closed my eyesAnd here I am on the short side of nothing

Here I am on the short side of nothing

All alone, all alone

Can't find my way homeSummer has come and the heat hangs low

No escape in sight

Sirens scream and lovers moan

Just like any other nightAnd here I am on the short side of nothing

Here I am on the short side of nothing

All alone, all alone

Can't find my way home
