She Looked Like Marilyn Monroe

She Looked Like Marilyn Monroe

Be mindful of what you reach for
Once it's in your grasp you may not hold it long
And what's almost but not quite yours
Leaves a deep scar
Something you can touch but never hold

CHORUS
And the last time that I saw her she lay sleeping
So I just softly closed the door
I took a look around as I was leaving
She looked like Marilyn Monroe

So beware of the lightning
That's striking down highway 23
And it seems like I'd run when I'm this frightened
And the light is so bright that it's blinding me

CHORUS
And the last time that I saw her she lay sleeping
So I just softly closed the door
I took a look around as I was leaving
She looked like Marilyn Monroe
