There's a woman who haunts my dreams at night
With a body that could wake the dead
She's got a switchblade knife in the back of her jeans
For the boys who love the Killian's Red

Cause she was born in California
But she was raised in Tennessee
By a filthy old man that's a son of a bitch
And a mother that she never sees

Comeback to me
Sweet Norma Jeane
And make the blind men sing hallelujah
And drag the devil down on his knees

A Marilyn Monroe
To my DiMaggio
Like a star in the sky you don't see every night
But damn sexy every time it shows

She was a sight to behold in that moon lit grove
Carving hearts into the side of a tree
You never would know she was 40 years old
And diabolical between the sheets

She earned a glass eye driving to the liquor store
And there was blood all over the seats
Now ever since then she don't drink after ten
But the bourbon's never tasted so sweet

My Norma Jeane at 17
In a pin up magazine
Until that Catalina ferry
Took her far away from home

Into the arms of other men
Barbiturates were kicking in
Some how I know I won't be seeing
Her light up my sky again

As the Catalina days turn the heat into waves
It casts a shadow on the tip of my pen
Im not sure what to write, there's no words for goodbye
That's the time when salutations end

But on days I'm alone I just stare at the phone
Cause I don't really love myself anymore
So I just stay out of sight like a ship in the night
Until she comes a knocking at my door

And I found comfort in fear as the days turned to years
For God and country as a merchant marine
I broken my fist in a fight, killed a man with a knife
Then cleaned up before I left the scene

Spent the day in a trance of confusion and chance
From all the drugs that I consumed on the beach
Cause nothing these days keep the demons at bay
Or keep the pistols in my house out of reach

My Norma Jeane at 17
In a pin up magazine
Until that Catalina ferry
Took her far away from home

Into the arms of other men
Barbiturates are kicking in
Some how I know I won't be seeing her

Comeback to me, sweet Norma Jeane
And make the blind men sing hallelujah
And drag the devil down on his knees

A Marilyn Monroe
To my DiMaggio
Like a star in the sky you don't see every night
But damn sexy every time it shows
Yeah damn sexy every time it shows
