|
Watch her out there on display |
|
Dancing in her sleepy way |
|
And all her visions start to play |
|
The icicles of our decay, Marlene |
|
Drink it to Marlene |
|
Fading flowers in her hair |
|
She's suffering from wear and tear |
|
She lies in waterfalls of dreams |
|
And doesn't question what it means, Marlene |
|
We drink it to Marlene |
|
And all along the desert shore |
|
She wanders further evermore |
|
The only thing that's left to try |
|
She says to live I have to die, Marlene |
|
We drink it to Marlene |
|
Marlene |
|
We drink it to Marlene |
|
She whispers sadly, "Well I might" |
|
And holds herself so very tight |
|
Then jumping from an unknown height |
|
She merges with the liquid night, Marlene |
|
Marlene |
|
We drink it to Marlene |
|
Her lovers wrap her mist in furs |
|
And tell her what she has is hers |
|
But when they take her by the hand |
|
She slips back in the desert sand |
|
Our Marlene |
|
We drink it to Marlene |
|
Marlene |
|
But what she leaves is made of glass |
|
And lovers worship as they pass |
|
And each one says, "Well, now she's mine" |
|
But all drink solitary wine |
|
Marlene |
|
Marlene |
|
Fare thee well |
|
Fare thee well |
|
Marlene |
|
Marlene |
