The Church - Decadence lyrics
Watch her out there on display
 Dancing in her sleepy way
 And all her visions start to play
 The icicles of our decay, Marlene
 Drink it to Marlene
 Fading flowers in her hair
 She's suffering from wear and tear
 She lies in waterfalls of dreams
 And doesn't question what it means, Marlene
 We drink it to Marlene
 And all along the desert shore
 She wanders further evermore
 The only thing that's left to try
 She says to live I have to die, Marlene
 We drink it to Marlene
 Marlene
 We drink it to Marlene
 She whispers sadly, "Well I might"
 And holds herself so very tight
 Then jumping from an unknown heightThe Church - Decadence - http://motolyrics.com/the-church/decadence-lyrics.html
 She merges with the liquid night, Marlene
 Marlene
 We drink it to Marlene
 Her lovers wrap her mist in furs
 And tell her what she has is hers
 But when they take her by the hand
 She slips back in the desert sand
 Our Marlene
 We drink it to Marlene
 Marlene
 But what she leaves is made of glass
 And lovers worship as they pass
 And each one says, "Well, now she's mine"
 But all drink solitary wine
 Marlene
 Marlene
 Fare thee well
 Fare thee well
 Marlene
 Marlene
