Short Side of Nothing

Los Lobos

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
