It´s a human sign
When things go wrong
When the scent of her lingers
And temptations strong
In to the boundary
Of each married man
Sweet deceipt comes a callin´
And negativity lands
Cold, cold heart
Hard done by you
Some things look better baby
Just passin´ through
Chorus:
And it´s no sacrifice
Just a simple word
It´s two hearts living
In two separate worlds
But it´s no sacrifice
No sacrifice
It´s no sacrifice at all
Mutual misunderstanding
After the fact
Sensitivity builds a prison
In the final act
We loose direction
No stone unturned
No tears to damn you
When jealousy burns
Cold, cold heart
Hard done by you
Some things look better baby
Just passin´ through
Repeat Chorus
Cold, cold heart
Hard done by you
Some things look better baby
Just passin´ through
Repeat Chorus
No sacrifice at all (5x)
Goodbye Norma Jean
Though I never knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself
While those around you crawled
They crawled out of the woodwork
And they whispered into your brain
They set you on the treadmill
And they made you change your name
*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.
I would have liked to know you
but I was just a kid.
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
Even when you died
All the press still hounded you
All the papers had to say
was that Marilyn was found in the nude (*)
Goodbye Norma Jean
Though I never knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself
While those around you crawled
Goodbye Norma Jean
From the young man in the 22nd row
Who sees you as something more than sexual
More than just our Marilyn Monroe (*)
Your candle burned out long before
your legend ever did.
