Leonardo sent her home since then she has lived alone

Of a painting of herself unhappy

Marilyn was lying all alone
Em Bm Em Bm
With an empty bottle by the phone

Kennedy was not around she was cold when she was found

But she'd gone where the goddesses are sleeping

Where the molten tongues of flame are leaping
G C D
Or where the angel's hearts are beating - ahhh
[Chorus]

All your fingers taken off for smoking

Meanwhile up the road a factory's choking
G C D
The ones who killed her work there I'm not joking
