Marlene - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

At the doorway down the hall, something smelled of alcohol

Baby, you’ve been missing now for days, days, days

We were just-a passing by and it was naughty, it was nice

But every pleasure has its price I pay, pay, pay

Everybody wondered where they found that conga drum

And everybody wondered where that blood was coming from

Marlene, baby won’t you comfort me?

Marlene, baby won’t you stay, stay, stay?

Marlene, baby won’t you stay with me tonight?

Severed finger, ruby ring, diamond dust on everything

Waiting for the phonе to ring for days, days, days

Pointing fingers, dirty looks, off the record, off thе books

Lovers sleaze and petty crooks, they say, say, say

And everybody wondered where the body would be found

In this dirty city on a lonely patch of ground

Marlene, baby won’t you comfort me?

Marlene, baby won’t you stay, stay, stay?

Marlene, baby won’t you stay with me tonight?

Your windblown lovers just beat my alibis

My diet’s only whiskey and a straight stream of lies

And everybody wondered where the body would be found

In this dirty city on a lonely patch of ground

Marlene, baby won’t you comfort me?

Marlene, baby won’t you stay, stay, stay?

Marlene, baby won’t you stay with me tonight?

Stay with me tonight
