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

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