Voice Over:
This just in...
Adult movie actress Savannah was pronounced dead today of a
self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.
She was 23.

Chorus:
We're living in a wicked world... ain't no place that you can run to
We're living in a wicked world... ain't no place that you can hide.

Driving down interstate 95
All you have is lots of time
People wander in and out of your mind.

Just south of South Carolina
I saw your name in lights
It's kinda like they built a shrine for you...
I'm sorry you died.

(Chorus)

Passing over the Savannah River
I thought I heard you on the wind
The things we'll do when we don't feel accepted.

I swear I thought of innocence
But I don't know how you felt inside
I'm not sure that you did, either...
I'm sorry you died.

(Chorus)
Bridge:
So here I am driving down the road
Thinking about some dead porn queen
Romanticizing her life
Like what I saw wasn't all obscene
I've always been a bit sentimental
Maybe now I'm totally fucked
But still, none of us deserves that
No one deserves that... not any of us.

(Chorus)

Quote:
...if you don't love me, I'm sorry.

(Chorus)

Now it's not like all these signs were for you
I think the city was sorta here first
But it's weird what they brought into view.

And it's not like the earth stood still
And it's not like I broke down and cried
It just came on like a chill...
I'm sorry you died.

(Chorus out)
