T Bone Burnett - Three Marlenas lyrics

[Verse 1] Alone tonight in somebody's bed She gone and dyed her hair red She only went and did what she did Cause he would drive her home then There's lipstick on her new dress She hadn't even paid yet But it doesn't matter where the money went It wasn't how she paid her rent [Chorus 1] One, two, three Marlenas There's got to be someone we can trust Out here among us [Verse 2] Now lookin' out across the city lights She thought they'd be a good pair Now he could make a living sellin' cars Maybe she could work there She's gonna pick a star in the night And pray to make it all right She tried so hard not to pick a kite She always prayed to heaven lights [Chorus 1] [Chorus 2] One, two, three Marlenas It's see no, speak no, hear no evil about us The three Marlenas [Verse 3] Man, I think I'm gonna buy myself a Rolls Maybe a Chevrolet One where I can pull that top down Just let my radio play Now I'm headin' out on that highway I'm goin' right out of state Now I ain't lookin' back until I'm gone Right through heaven's gates [Chorus 1] [Chorus 2] [Fade-out] Three Marlenas Three Marlenas
