Goodbye, Norma Jeane |
[00:17.075] |
Though I never knew you at all |
[00:20.306] |
You had the grace to hold yourself |
[00:23.536] |
While those around you crawled |
[00:28.390] |
They crawled out of the woodwork |
[00:32.517] |
And they whispered into your brain |
[00:35.608] |
They set you on the treadmill |
[00:38.584] |
And they made you change your name |
[00:44.755] |
And it seems to me you lived your life |
[00:48.309] |
Like a candle in the wind |
[00:52.219] |
Never knowing who to cling to |
[00:55.819] |
When the rain set in |
[00:59.651] |
And I would've liked to know you |
[01:02.968] |
But I was just a kid |
[01:06.128] |
Your candle burned out long before |
[01:09.856] |
Your legend ever did |
[01:25.440] |
Loneliness was tough |
[01:28.117] |
The toughest role you ever played |
[01:31.857] |
Hollywood created a superstar |
[01:34.844] |
And pain was the price you paid |
[01:40.009] |
And even when you died |
[01:44.068] |
Oh, the press still hounded you |
[01:47.010] |
All the papers had to say |
[01:50.174] |
Was that Marilyn was found in the nude |
[01:55.903] |
And it seems to me you lived your life |
[01:59.716] |
Like a candle in the wind |
[02:03.586] |
Never knowing who to cling to |
[02:07.208] |
When the rain set in |
[02:11.140] |
And I would've liked to know you |
[02:14.386] |
But I was just a kid |
[02:17.578] |
Your candle burned out long before |
[02:21.220] |
Your legend ever did |
[02:36.817] |
Goodbye, Norma Jeane |
[02:39.751] |
Though I never knew you at all |
[02:42.807] |
You had the grace to hold yourself |
[02:46.257] |
While those around you crawled |
[02:52.115] |
Goodbye, Norma Jeane |
[02:54.716] |
From the young man in the 22nd row |
[02:58.250] |
Who sees you as something more than sexual |
[03:01.653] |
More than just our Marilyn Monroe |
[03:07.322] |
And it seems to me you lived your life |
[03:11.060] |
Like a candle in the wind |
[03:14.916] |
Never knowing who to cling to |
[03:18.703] |
When the rain set in |
[03:22.266] |
And I would've liked to know you |
[03:25.424] |
But I was just a kid |
[03:28.727] |
Your candle burned out long before |
[03:32.467] |
Your legend ever did |
[03:38.232] |
Your candle burned out long before |
[03:42.085] |
Your legend ever did |
