Norma Jean
I saw Moby Dick riding the Star-Spangled Banner
One full moon before the freezing September
Jamaica made first the say
Towards breaking the bonds of foray
While Warren was saying goodbye
Einstein blew the first cry
Towards breaking the bonds of foray
About six steps away
While Norma Jean was groaning in pain
The shadow of Columbus set sail for Spain
Poor Nelson made the creed
That broke the chains of apartheid
While the world was shedding tears for a fallen angel
Two teardrops fell that broke all hell
While Jamaica was waving the flags of liberty
Fleming unfolded an ancient mystery
Poor lovely Norma Jean
Fell early like James Dean
But the memory of her prime
Was revered through time
In memory of Norma Jean Baker
