Lyrics
DEAD GIRL WALKING
Dead girl walking
On a lonesome road headed to a chair
Dread comes knocking
Racking my brain for one good prayer
Dead girl walking
Dropped down in a basement nightmare
IVs and TVs squawking
Balding heads fight despair
Bridge:
Tragedy happens every day
This fear I carry has many names
Dead girl walking
Please loan me strength I can?t repay
I beg you, keep talking
This shadow never quite goes away
Dead girl walking
That needle stitchin? my well-laid plans
Uncertainty is stalking
My future?s held in hungry hands
Bridge:
Tragedy happens every day
This fear I carry has many names
I?m still walking, I have survived
I am a woman who?s finally, finally alive
Dead girl walking 2x
