Bedroom Door

Like an old dog barking at a fence
Or an old watch priced at 90 cents
Or my leather-bound Bible
When heaven and hell stopped making sense

You're putting me away

In an old box filled up to the brim
With your old socks you keep because your pockets might get thin
Or the china cup you broke 
But you keep it around 'cause it was a gift

You're putting me away

Out of sight and out of mind and out of earshot,
you can find me there
Gathering dust and taking space

You're putting me away

Putting Me Away

This one's for a girl named Norma Jean
She was a beauty queen
Had the world upon a string

They named her Marilyn Monroe and they 
gave her a role to play, said
"Show your legs and paint your face."

And all the papers said,
the papers said

Smile for the camera
Baby, you're a star
Smile for the camera
You are gonna go so far

Oh, she lost touch with a girl called Norma Jean
She was just trying to be the
one who had everything

Oh, and everywhere she went became a stage
Men with their hungry gaze
That was just the price to pay

And all the papers said,
the papers said

Smile for the camera
Baby, you're a star
Smile for the camera
You are gonna go so far

And on the day she died
They said she lost her mind 
They found her wearing nothing but Chanel No. 5
But if you asked her what the reason was, she'd tell you that it was because
She was only playin
She was only playin
She was only playin her part

And all the papers said,
the papers said

Smile for the camera
Baby, you're a star
Smile for the camera
You are gonna go so far

So this one's for a girl called Norma Jean
She was a radiant beam
Stuck inside a TV screen

Oh, you know, to pick a flower is to choose her dying day
They put her in a vase
Then they watched her wilt away

Norma Jean
