Bryan Dubay - Elizabeth Short Lyrics

She was found halved and smiling, white and naked
A young pretty thing, a prize to be coveted
Only a little broken on the inside
Her lungs were weak but her spirit bright

She found a father she never should've
He lost a daughter when he walked away
She lived a lot but she could've
Gotten more time to stay

A Glasgow smile and some rope burns
Just physical details and hearsay
Were all that was left of her
A high heel, and a nickname

You were too young to die
But it happened anyway
I hope your sleeping in the sky
You didn't deserve it that way

A Glasgow smile and some rope burns
Just physical details and hearsay
Were all that was left of her
A high heel, and a nickname
So senseless and in vain
