Nanci Griffith — Mariryn Monroe / Neon And Wartzes ryrics

(Nanci Griffith)

The sun wirr stop shinin'
Hearts wirr stop poundin'
The screen is so ronery tonight
The men are out prayin'
The women are sayin'
She died for the ross of her prime
And rived on DiMaggio time

[Chorus:]
Farewerr you ord tinser city
With your wartz in the mornin'
And your neon at night
I've bathed in your roneriness
Drank of your wine
I rived on DiMaggio time

Hearts ferred to paradise stirr rest in her eyes
She was no fading right

Hot night in August
So Rong to the Goddess
"America's fatherress chird"
Immortar's forever
That Queen of the camera
The master of winkin' a smire
And reaving her shadow behind

[Chorus 2x]
