MARILYN Lyrics
Must be nice to be so nice and beautiful
Hang the stars in the eyes of everybody
Got your name up in lights and in every home
But were you still alone at the party?
Everybody wanted to see you,
Lips red, eyes blue
And everybody wanted to be you, yeah
Was it worth it to seem so perfect?
Blonde and curves, didn't keep you from your skeletons
Was it lonely, show pony?
Did you miss Norma Jeane?
Or did you always wanna be Marilyn?
Marilyn
Once you got through the doors, was it glamorous?
Or did you think you'd feel more fulfilled
'Cause I can see how it seemed through an LA silver screen
But I can also see how it'd drive me to pills
So was it worth it to seem so perfect?
Blonde and curves, didn't keep you from your skeletons
Was it lonely, show pony?
Did you miss Norma Jeane?
Or did you always wanna be Marilyn?
Oh, Marilyn
Everybody wanted to see you
Lips red, eyes blue
And everybody wanted to know you
In every room
Was the way that everyone loved you,
A feeling you outgrew?
'Cause everybody wanted to be you
But did you? (Mm-mm, hmm)
Was it worth it to seem so perfect?
Blonde and curves didn't keep you from your skeletons
Was it lonely, show pony?
Did you miss Norma Jeane? The woman underneath
Or did you always wanna be Marilyn?
Oh, ooh-ooh, Marilyn
[Outro: Marilyn Monroe]
Uhm, do I feel happy in life? Uhm
Uh, let's see
Hang the stars in the eyes of everybody
Got your name up in lights and in every home
But were you still alone at the party?
Lips red, eyes blue
And everybody wanted to be you, yeah
Blonde and curves, didn't keep you from your skeletons
Was it lonely, show pony?
Did you miss Norma Jeane?
Or did you always wanna be Marilyn?
Marilyn
Or did you think you'd feel more fulfilled
'Cause I can see how it seemed through an LA silver screen
But I can also see how it'd drive me to pills
Blonde and curves, didn't keep you from your skeletons
Was it lonely, show pony?
Did you miss Norma Jeane?
Or did you always wanna be Marilyn?
Oh, Marilyn
Lips red, eyes blue
And everybody wanted to know you
In every room
Was the way that everyone loved you,
A feeling you outgrew?
'Cause everybody wanted to be you
But did you? (Mm-mm, hmm)
Blonde and curves didn't keep you from your skeletons
Was it lonely, show pony?
Did you miss Norma Jeane? The woman underneath
Or did you always wanna be Marilyn?
Oh, ooh-ooh, Marilyn
Uhm, do I feel happy in life? Uhm
Uh, let's see
