Goodbye Norma Jean
Though I never knew toi at all
toi had the grace to hold yourself
While those around toi crawled
They crawled out of the woodwork
And they whispered into your brain
They set toi on the treadmill
And they made toi change your name
chorus
And it seems to me toi 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 toi ever played
Hollywood created a superstar
And pain was the price toi paid
Even when toi died
Oh the press still hounded you
All the papers had to say
Was that Marilyn was found in the nude
[repeat chorus]
Goodbye Norma Jean
Though I never knew toi at all
toi had the grace to hold yourself
While those around toi crawled
Goodbye Norma Jean
From the young man in the 22nd row
Who sees toi as something plus than sexual
plus than just our Marilyn Monroe
Though I never knew toi at all
toi had the grace to hold yourself
While those around toi crawled
They crawled out of the woodwork
And they whispered into your brain
They set toi on the treadmill
And they made toi change your name
chorus
And it seems to me toi 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 toi ever played
Hollywood created a superstar
And pain was the price toi paid
Even when toi died
Oh the press still hounded you
All the papers had to say
Was that Marilyn was found in the nude
