Krista Detor - Marlene In A Movie lyrics

MARLENE IN A MOVIE © Krista Detor and David Weber, Cover Their Eyes At the bottom of a bottle, in the back of my head At the bottom of a bottle, it was something you said In the dark and the distant - lying there in a blue silk dress Marlene in a movie - that's how I like you best At the door of the basement, at the bottom of the stairs At the door of the basement, sparkly things in your hair Down in the dark unfinished just there where the light falls in Marlene in a movie - and you smell a little like gin CHORUS: All the writing on the wall Never bothered you at all See her smile and she's gone And the band played on, and the band played on At the end of the party – everybody's going home At the end of the party – and you want to be alone Somebody's waiting for you to pick him from all the rest Marlene in a movie - and they all love you best CHORUS: All the writing on the wall Never bothered you at all See her smile and she's gone And the band played on, and the band played on Like the world was watching - it was something you said Making eyes for the camera - it was something you said About the ghosts and the bones in the folds of your dress Marlene in a movie, just like Marlene in a movie – That's how I like you best CHORUS: All the writing on the wall Never bothered you at all See her smile and she's gone And the band played on, and the band played on
