lyrics

Kayleigh's got a dragon in her pocket, empty prescriptions, and a hole in the bucket.
Never thought she would be at it again, with the scare last year thought that was the end.
Mama died when she was three years old and daddy turned to bottles and left the kids all alone.
Never had the feelings that she felt before; always wanting a little more.
But she'll never feel a thing tonight.

Two shots on Second Avenue.
Now what's a little girl to do?
Nobody warned she'll never come back down.
Two shots on Second Avenue.
Heart beats then silence fills the room.
Nobody warned you'll never come back down and see her when she's gone.

Got a picture of mama in a locket; a lost description and no one ever saw it.
Never thought that we would get her back; she fell of the path and off the track.
It's been years and it got only worse with a heart of gold tainted by a serpent's curse.
She went down hard pinned by a tack and no one ever thought that she would come back.
But that's all gonna change tonight.

Two shots on Second Avenue.
Now what's a little girl to do?
Nobody warned she'll never come back down.
Two shots on Second Avenue.
Heart beats then silence fills the room.
Nobody warned you'll never come back down and see her when she's gone.
