Marcy Playground - Death Of A Cheerleader lyrics

She was so pretty, everyone said

The more so the pity

That she was found dead

And now the flag only flies at fifty percent

In the school yard where she once went

Push 'em back, push 'em back

Way back, way back

B-E A-G-G-R-E-S-S-I-V-E

And the death of a cheerleader

Take me by surprise

How the death of a cheerleader

Can open eyes

Yellow carnations and roses galore

Were sent to the mother and

Placed by the door

And in the spot where her daughter had

Taken her life

Was a sweet sixteen photo

On homecoming night

Push 'em back, push 'em back

Way back, way back

B-E A-G-G-R-E-S-S-I-V-E

And the death of a cheerleader

Takes me by surprise

How the death of a cheerleader

Can open eyes

And it's sad that she had to die

To open eyes

Nobody doubted her future was vast

Nobody noticed she grew up so fast

It's a shame that her future's a thing of the past

Tomorrow's the funeral you know

L-E-T-S-G-O
