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
