Goodbye Norma Jean |
[00:10.79] |
No I never knew you at all |
[00:13.76] |
You had the grace to hold yourself |
[00:17.56] |
While those around you crawled |
[00:22.41] |
They crawled out of the woodwork |
[00:26.34] |
And they whispered into your brain |
[00:29.31] |
They set you on the treadmill |
[00:32.64] |
And they made you change your name |
[00:38.21] |
And it seems to me you lived your life |
[00:42.06] |
Like a candle in the wind |
[00:46.12] |
Never knowing who to cling to |
[00:49.88] |
When the rain set in |
[00:53.72] |
And I would have liked to know you |
[00:57.14] |
But I was just a kid |
[01:00.07] |
Your candle burned out long before |
[01:03.86] |
Your legend ever did |
[01:19.43] |
Loneliness was tough |
[01:22.38] |
The toughest role you ever played |
[01:25.50] |
Hollywood created a superstar |
[01:28.91] |
And pain was the price you paid |
[01:34.20] |
Even when you died |
[01:38.20] |
All the press still hounded you |
[01:41.15] |
All the papers had to say |
[01:44.38] |
Was that Marilyn was found in the nude |
[01:49.90] |
And it seems to me you lived your life |
[01:53.78] |
Like a candle in the wind |
[01:57.67] |
Never knowing who to cling to |
[02:01.43] |
When the rain set in |
[02:05.39] |
And I would have liked to know you |
[02:08.64] |
But I was just a kid |
[02:11.69] |
Your candle burned out long before |
[02:15.57] |
Your legend ever did |
[02:31.07] |
Goodbye Norma Jean |
[02:33.89] |
Though I never knew you at all |
[02:37.15] |
You had the grace to hold yourself |
[02:40.69] |
While those around you crawled |
[02:46.48] |
Goodbye Norma Jean |
[02:49.34] |
From the young man in the 22nd row |
[02:52.76] |
Who sees you as something more than sexual |
[02:55.93] |
More than just our Marilyn Monroe |
[03:01.70] |
And it seems to me you lived your life |
[03:05.37] |
Like a candle in the wind |
[03:09.28] |
Never knowing who to cling to |
[03:12.98] |
When the rain set in |
[03:17.02] |
And I would have liked to know you |
[03:20.18] |
But I was just a kid |
[03:23.18] |
Your candle burned out long before |
[03:27.05] |
