turn on the television
and listen to the morningnews
hear a story bout a girl i once knew
who died from the pills she used
she used to tell me stories
she used to be my friend
now she's gone yeah she's 6 feet under
she can't escape her fate
you'll be dead by dawn
you can kiss your nerves goodbye

you'll be dead by dawn and
no one will hear your cries
no one will hear your cries
she said it was short and sweet
it was worth the misery
for the sake of notoriety
she could live pathetically
last thing that i remember
she was trying to make ends meet
but reality grabbed hold and shook her
now she can't escape her fate
