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 looking out across the city lights
She thought they'd be a good pair
Now he could make a living selling cars
Maybe she could work there
She's going to 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 head lights

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 about us
Three Marlenas

Man, I think I'm going to buy myself a Rolls
Maybe a Chevrolet
One where I can put that top down
Just let my radio play
Now I'm heading out on that highway
I'm going right out of state
Now I ain't looking 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
