Goodbye Norma Jean
Though I never knew bạn at all
bạn had the grace to hold yourself
While those around bạn crawled
They crawled out of the woodwork
And they whispered into your brain
They set bạn on the treadmill
And they made bạn change your name

chorus
And it seems to me bạn 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 bạn ever played
Hollywood created a superstar
And pain was the price bạn paid
Even when bạn 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 bạn at all
bạn had the grace to hold yourself
While those around bạn crawled
Goodbye Norma Jean
From the young man in the 22nd row
Who sees bạn as something thêm than sexual
thêm than just our Marilyn Monroe
