Walking
down the road all alone
Doesn't seem to matter any way I go
Each time I'm out on my own
Looking for a thrill
People wanna treat me kind
Keep them working for you,
they rob you blind Give a little rope and if you slack the line
They coming 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
till 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 Funeral dove,
I never knew that it could
sing Over classic love without a ring
Slow dancing in a long lace gown
Don't cry for her, she's halfway gone
Wasting 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 busyness 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 neighbor's 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 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,
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
