Goodbye Norma Jean
Though
never knew you at all
You had
grace
hold yourself
While those around you crawled
They crawled out
the woodwork
And they whispered into your brain
They set you
the treadmill
And they made you change your name
And
seemsme you lived your life
Like
candle
the wind
Never knowing whocling to
Whenrain set in
Andwould have likedhave known you
Butwas justkid
Your candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did
Loneliness was tough
The toughest role you ever played
Hollywood createdsuperstar
And pain wasprice you paid
Even when you died
Ohpress still hounded you
Allpapers hadsay
Was that Marilyn was foundthe nude
Goodbye Norma Jean
Fromyoung manthe 22nd row
Who sees you as something as more than sexual
More than just our Marilyn Monroe
