Norma Jeane and Vickie Lynn
 

You both left us way too soon
You told us that you would
You both made us mourn the loss
You told us that you could
Both your stars shone so bright
You soared high before the fall
We thought you belonged to us
We never knew you at all

God selects our family
But we select our friends
We’ll never know what might have been
Norma Jeane and Vickie Lynn
In that final race for death
Yes, drugs will always win
We’ll never know what might have been
Norma Jeane and Vickie Lynn

There are bubble headed blonds
Some say you were the same
Hardly worth remembering
Two women with two names
We are so fascinated
Should we be asking why
Is there something new to learn
Or is it just an alibi

When we forget our family
Some say it is a sin
But we will always love you
Norma Jeane and Vickie Lynn
You got a reputation
For showing lots of skin
But we will always love you
Norma Jeane and Vickie Lynn

You wanted to be accepted
The world say only fame
You searched for an identity
We thought it was a game

In my mind I see you now
Hope the memory never fades
Already it is bittersweet
Because of the price you paid

Marilyn and Anna Nicole
Some people can be so crude
The only thing that interests them
You were both found in the nude
