MiLa
Goodbye Norma Jean, though I never knew you at all
Mi
You had the grace to hold yourself
LaReLa
while those around you crawled
Mi
They crawled out of the woodwork
La
and they whispered into your brain
Mi
They sent you on a treadmill
La
and they made you change your name

And it seems to me you lived your life
MiLa
Like a candle in the wind
MiSi
Never knowing who to cling to when the rain set in
LaDo#m
And I would have liked to 've known you but I was just a kid
SiLa
Your candle burned out long before your legend ever did

Loneliness was tough, the toughest role you ever played

Hollywood created a superstar and pain was the price you paid
MiLa
And even when you died, oh, the press still hounded you
Mi
All the papers had to say was that Marilyn
La
was found in the nude

Goodbye Norma Jean, from a young man in the twenty second row

Who sees you as something more than sexual,
LaReLa
more than just our Marilyn Monroe
