Goodbye Norma Jean
Though I never knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself
While those around you crawled
You crawled out of the woodwork
And then they whispered into your brain
They set you on the treadmill
And they made you change your name
CHORUS:-
And it seems to me
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
The legend ever did
Loneliness is 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 22nd row
Who sees you as something more than sexual
More than just our Marilyn Monro
