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
