Dreams wash down the gutter
All my hopes in vain
Crows up on the rooftop

Laughing out my name

Here I am on the short side of nothing

Here I am on the short side of nothing

We danced all night as life stood by

We told another lie
Found a spot down by the roadside
There I closed my eyes


And 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


Summer has come and the heat hangs low
No escape in sight
Sirens scream and lovers moan

Just like any other night

And 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
