Goodbye Norma Jean
|
Though I never knew you at all
|
You had the grace to hold yourself
|
While those around you crawled
|
They crawled out of the woodwork
|
And they whispered into your brain
|
They set you on the treadmill
|
And they made you change your name
|
|
Chorus
|
And it seems to me that you lived your life
|
Like a candle in the wind
|
Never knowing who to cling to when the rain set in
|
And I would have liked to have known you
|
But I was just a kid
|
Your candle burned out long before
|
Your legend ever did
|
Loneliness was tough
|
The toughest role you ever played
|
Hollywood created a superstar
|
And pain was the price you paid
|
Even when you died the press still hounded you
|
All the papers had to say
|
Was that Marilyn was found in the nude
|
|
(Chorus)
|
|
Goodbye Norma Jean
|
Though I never knew you at all
|
You had the grace to hold yourself
|
While those around you crawled
|
Goodbye Norma Jean
|
From the young man in the twenty-second row
|
Who sees you as something more than just sexual
|
More than just our Marilyn Monroe
|
|
(Chorus)
|
