The Wallflowers - Three Marlenas Lyrics

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

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 alright
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 one, two, three Marlenas
It's see no, speak no, hear no evil about us
The 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, well here among us

One, two, three Marlenas
You see no, speak no, hear no evil among us
The three Marlenas, the three Marlenas, three Marlenas
