| Three
Marlenas | 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 rent One, two, three Marlenas
There's got to be someone we can trust Out here among us 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 One, two, three Marlenas
There's got to be someone we can trust Out here among us One, two, three Marlenas
It's see no, speak no, hear no evil about us three Marlenas 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 One, two, three Marlenas
There's got to be someone we can trust Out here among us One, two, three Marlenas
see no, speak no, hear no evil among us three Marlenas Three Marlenas Three Marlenas

notes
| words and music by Jakob Dylan appears on Bringing Down the Horse -Three
Marlenas was the 4th and final single released off of Bringing Down the
Horse -"Well, I don't know, to put it simply, I gotta make a lot of decisions in my life every day, like everybody else, and sometimes you feel like you got three different people [when] you're making choices and you don't know which one's speaking to you on which day. Although somebody mentioned to me about this Marlena Deitrich movie, which I never even heard of, where she plays three characters." -Jakob, on the meaning of "Three Marlenas." |
