She took a page from the Odyssey
Stuck it up on the wall
Hung it high for us all to see it, yeah
Just as if we forgot that
She don't like where she came from
[Verse 2]
She took a tab full of LSD
Tried to make it a big one
Butterflies far as she could see
To the Queen of England
But she don't like where she came from
[Chorus]
Behind those eyes, a Marilyn Rose
She's ahead of the game again
Searching out the window
From the tip of her toes, you can tell that she lost a friend
Aye, aye, aye, aye, aye, aye
And as the melody grows, you can see where she goes
See where she, see where she lies
Aye, lie-lies
Oh, I'm drowning in her lullabies
[Verse 3]
She took a cab to the embassy
Tried to break down the walls
She wanted proof, she wanted to see, yeah
There's other places at all
'Cause she don't like where she came from
[Verse 4]
You can take it or you leave it
Oh, you know she's so deceiving
(Aye, aye, aye, aye, ay)
No
[Chorus]
Behind those eyes, a Marilyn Rose
She's ahead of the game again
Searching out the window
From the tip of her toes, you can tell that she lost a friend
Aye, aye, aye, aye, aye, aye
And as the melody grows, you can see where she goes
See where she, see where she lies
Aye, lie-lies
Oh, I'm drowning in her, drowning in her, drowning in her
Drowning in her lullabies
[Post-Chorus]
Woah-woah
Oh, I'm drowning, drowning, drowning
[Bridge]
Oh, but your thought is a matter of mind
Oh, I tell you all the time, every time, every time
You can make it if you try, if you try, if you try
Doesn't matter what's inside, what's inside, what's inside
Oh-woah-woah-woah
[Chorus]
Marilyn Rose, she's ahead of the game again
Searching out the window
Tip of her toes, can tell that she lost a friend
Aye, aye, aye, aye, aye, aye
And as the melody grows, you can see where she goes
See where she, see where she lies
Aye, lie-lies
Oh, I'm drowning in her lullabies
Oh, I'm drowning in her lullabies
I'm drowning in her lullabies
