Miss Marlene Lyrics

Lyric discussion by DcnBlues 

Cover art for Miss Marlene lyrics by Donald Fagen

Stumbled upon an interview with Donald Fagan on this song. I was 50% that Marlene survived and just moved on. But. Now we know. A beautiful young lady with exceptional skills has died tragically.

DF: Well, because when someone dies young, they’re preserved for all time in their youthful state. She was a sensitive girl, she was unlucky in love, and she kind of lost it there and there was a terrible taxicab accident, and, you know, s**t happens, right? ML: Also was a good bowler. Everybody loves a good bowler. DF: Excellent bowler.
