Goodbye Norma Jean
Though I never knew Du at all
Du had the grace to hold yourself
While those around Du crawled
They crawled out of the woodwork
And they whispered into your brain
They set Du on the treadmill
And they made Du change your name
chorus
And it seems to me Du 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 Du ever played
Hollywood created a superstar
And pain was the price Du paid
Even when Du 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 Du at all
Du had the grace to hold yourself
While those around Du crawled
Goodbye Norma Jean
From the young man in the 22nd row
Who sees Du as something Mehr than sexual
Mehr than just our Marilyn Monroe
Though I never knew Du at all
Du had the grace to hold yourself
While those around Du crawled
They crawled out of the woodwork
And they whispered into your brain
They set Du on the treadmill
And they made Du change your name
chorus
And it seems to me Du 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 Du ever played
Hollywood created a superstar
And pain was the price Du paid
Even when Du 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 Du at all
Du had the grace to hold yourself
While those around Du crawled
Goodbye Norma Jean
From the young man in the 22nd row
