Marilyn Monroe (Alternate Mix) Lyrics

Sixty years later and she's still Mona Lisa

Nothing in this world she found could ease her

She had money, she had beauty, men who loved to please her

But nothing filled the empty of how those fuckers treated her

She got a body like a gold rush fever

Everybody wants to steal her smile

A 1936, foster girl learns quick

The first blood is to the hungry crocodile

The social contract for the role of beauty queen

You make your rules to be a slave, slave, slave

You got the money and the power to weaken man

But nothing's left of her to save, save, save

Say nothing's left of her to save, save, save

The human spirit is to join with something else

A divine partner for a physical mind

And she was perfect for the starving eye

And she was heaven in a desperate time

She's a cherry on the top of the American dream

She is the starlet of the golden age movie streams

Everybody wants to steal and smile

Leave her drowning in the media crossfire

And leave her drowning in the media crossfire

Skin to bone and bone to flesh

Heart to God, we wished her all the best

But we made her up to be what we want most

We only saw her as our mirror ghost, our mirror ghost

What would I give to run my hands through her hair

On that beach before the money and her beauty died

My hands would turn to sand in that dirty brown hair

That smile would freeze and the waves touch my feet

We sink down in the sand

And the sun would turn to moon above

And the sea would turn tsunami wave

As I turn my back and we wash away

We are sand

I still want to steal that smile
