Brian Goss - Hey Marianne lyrics

There's a mystery man on the corner Selling a paper that's thin About a man who lives life like a circus And the monkey that's running with him Hey Marianne Where have you been girl? And a woman, once gold charms adorned her Put her downfall all on display A tail of her triumphs and then her pain Giving pleasure in some modern way Giving pleasure in some sick way Hey Marianne Where have you been girl? Another Saturday morning in midtown A telephone call to the chief About leaving a hole at the entrance And breaking away with the thieves Another mystery man on the corner Screams prepare for the sacrifice He said thanks for the change in his hat today I said thanks for the good advice Hey Marianne Where have you been girl?
