DEAD GIRL WALKING, Brenner/Castro  (ascap)

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
There's IVs and TVs squawking
And balding heads, fight despair

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 stitches my well-laid plans
Uncertainty is stalking
My future’s held in hungry hands
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
