Marilyn
I was Marilyn in '62
killing all my demons
with Vodka Gimlets, a few
and I was Aprhrodite
in Something's Got to Give
resplendent in the dailies
with four months still to live
Hello Mr. Cukor
I'm sorry that I'm late
I found myself detained
by a new barbiturate
Yes, I was blonde Venus
at the age of thirty-six
seeking absolution
with the milligrams I would mix
And now an image flickers
Blonde actress on the screen
in quiet desperation
yes, I was Norma Jean

Beyond the Ordinary Night
Look
Look and you will see
A different side of me
Talk and you will find
Another facet of my mind
Touch and you will feel
A part of me that's real

Variety Says
Variety says, "The play's a hit"
But TIME will say, "It's just a skit"
where leading actors lose their way -- the victims of a sad cliche
and angry divas primp and preen -- to dominate the dying scene
Come join with me, the play's begun
We're going to have theatric fun
We'll get no Tony for our part
Although we play with mind and heart
And with each Act, we'll have to say,
"This play's a rage, in every way"

The Things I Do
There are those
And they are few
Who understand
The Things I do
There are those
And they are wise
Who see my face
Through any guise
Come be with me and you will see -- a colorful Reality
And you can be among the few
Who understand
The Things I do
