Lyrics:

Feat. Elton John

(Verse)
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 put you on the treadmill
And they made you change your name

(Chorus)
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 liked to known you, but I was just a kid
Your candle burned out long before the legend ever did

(Verse)
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

(Chorus)
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 liked to known you, but I was just a kid
Your candle burned out long before the legend ever did

(Verse)
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 from the trail of 22nd row
Who sees you as something more than sexual
More than just Marilyn Monroe?

(Chorus)
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 have liked to have known you but I was just a kid
Your candle burned out long before the legend ever did x2
