Marie in the Middle Songtext
von Melissa Ferrick

Marie is dancing
With a rainbow song
She′s dancing in the clouds above my head
With no music on
Marie is dancing
With a rainbow song
She's dancing in the clouds above my head
With no way music on

Marie in the middle
Three came before
Or two came after
Life was loud
And they were poor

And on the rock
In front of her house
We played King of the World
And Marie in the middle always came last


Until the sun it came burning
And it set her soul on fire
Until the fire it went raging
There was no way for her to survive
No way to survive
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh

Tired, tired of life′s frustrations
You know Marie turned away
Until she captured the drug
That would take her to an early grave

Until the sun it came burning
Set her soul on fire
Until the fire it went raging
There was no way for her to survive
Marie in the middle, no way to survive
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh

Then her son, he rode a car
To say to goodbye to his mum
We were all transfixed
By the boy in the tie
Wearing shoes made for men


Then I said Marie is dancing
With a rainbow song
She's dancing in the clouds above my head
With no music on
Marie is dancing
With a rainbow song
She's dancing in the clouds above my head
With no music on

Marie is dancing
With a rainbow song
She′s dancing in the clouds above my head
With no music on
