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 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 homeSummer 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
