A love in Santa Monica
A love in Santa Monica

In the picture she's sitting
Outdoors in a children's playground
She's quietly reading
And she doesn't make a sound
Because the merry-go-round
Is not turning around
Life is a wheel barrel
Because the merry-go-round
Is not turning around
You are pushing someone or else you are in it yourself

I want you now
I want you now

The person in the picture
A young actress known as Marilyn Monroe
Where her quest leads her is
Only the Greek gods will know
To absorb the meaning of the whole scene
You have to take it nice and slow
To absorb the meaning of the whole scene
You have to take it nice and slow
Life is a wheel barrel
You are pushing someone or else you are in it yourself

A love in Santa Monica
A love in Santa Monica

She's reading her big novel
Which is resting on her bare legs and knees
She's studying it intently
In the background you see green lawn and trees
The author is a man however
A woman's name Joyce blows in the breeze
The author is a man however
A woman's name Joyce blows in the breeze
Life is a wheel barrel
You are pushing someone or else you are in it yourself

I want you now
I want you now

Some like it hot
But where's the warmth
Everyone's so rude
Does pulchritude dictate
All men get to see me in the nude
The magazines say I'm a sex symbol
Guys in bands all want to bank me
But all their wives and girlfriends
They all want to hang me

A blond spelled with an e
Dead at 36 years old
Lying on a mortuary slab
They say it's very, very cold
Over by the children's swings
If it don't swing it don't mean a thing
Over by the children's swings
If it don't swing it don't mean a thing
Life is a real barrel
You are pushing someone or else you are in it yourself

I want you now
I want you now

Marilyn looks like a child
Discovery sounds and thoughts she's never heard
Sitting barefoot, yes, yes, yes
She reads Molly Bloom's final words
Above her head she hears the song
Of a discouraging black bird
Above her head she hears the song
Of a discouraging black bird

Ring-a-ring around the rosy
Ring a- ring around the rosy
Ashes, ashes all fall down
Ring a- ring around the rosy
Ring a- ring around the rosy
Ashes, ashes all fall down
Ashes, ashes, all fall down

Marilyn says I'll end up some roadside litter
Like an empty pack of M&M's
Tossed in a ditch that's filled with critters
That's how it's going to end
I've spent all of my life looking
For someone who I can hold
But instead I always end up searching
For the wandering ghost of old Tom Jones

Ring-a-ring around the rosy
Ring a- ring around the rosy
Ashes, ashes all fall down
Ring a- ring around the rosy
Ring a- ring around the rosy
Ashes, ashes all fall down
Ashes, ashes, all fall down
