Lyrics
I feel the energy all in the air
Mayhem and madness all everywhere
This ain't no place for a child to be
She's been down proving only 17
All she could see was her name in lights
Her daddy beat her so she left one night
This isn't how it was supposed to be
She shouldn't have to sell her body for money
She was too fast to last
Too low to grow
Too high to fly
Too bright to shine
Too fast to last
Too low to grow
Too high to fly
Too bright to shine
Child could sing, she could really dance
Somebody see her, please take a chance
Here comes a **** with a bodyguard
His hands was soft but his face was hard
He told her baby I'll make you a star
Opened the door and she got in the car
Painted lies of TV and film
Just wanted her to sell some mess for him
She was too fast to last
Too low to grow
Too high to fly
Too bright to shine
Too fast to last
Too low to grow
Too high to fly
Too bright to shine
Red lips and nails with heels to match
On the track she's the best catch
She thought it'd be a means to an end
She really thought that **** was a friend
Oh, her bag is heavy and her life's a mess
She clicks the light and starts to get undressed
The trick comes in and points the gun to her head
Nowhere to run, he shoots her once, she's dead
She was too fast to last
Too low to grow
Too high to fly
Too bright to shine
Ooooh yeah, why
Oh why
Why
She was too fast to last
Too low to grow
Too high to fly
Too bright to shine
Too fast to last
Too low to grow
Too high to fly
Too bright to shine
She was too fast to last
Too low to grow
Too high to fly
Too bright to shine
Too fast to last
Too low to grow
Too high to fly
Too bright to shine
