Goodbye Norma Jean
Though I never knew you

at all
They crawled out of the
woodwork

And they whispered
into you brain
They set you on a treadmill
And they made you change
your name

It seems to me
You've lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
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
Toughest role you

ever played
Even when you died, oh,
the press still hounded you
All the papers had to say
Was that Marilyn was found
in the nude
And it seems to me you
lived your life like a candle
in the wind

Never knowing who to cling
to when the rain set in
And I would've like to have
known you but I was just

a kid
Goodbye Norma Jean
Though I never knew you
at all, you've had the grace
to hold yourself
As those around you crawl
Goodbye Norma Jean
From a young man in the
twenty-second row
Goodbye Norma Jean
From a young man in the
twenty-second row

Who sees you as
something more than
sexual
It seems to me you've lived
your life Like a candle
in the wind

Never knowing who to cling
to when the rain set in
I would have liked to have
known you

But I was just a kid
Your candle burned out
long before

Your legend ever did
I would have liked to have
known you

But I was just a kid
Your candle burned out
long before

Your legend ever did
