Oh Marianne, you went and lost your head 
Outside the gates, they found you dead 
You've been cut up, you've been cut down 
Your shoulders lost their precious crown 

Marianne, you've done it now 
Marianne 

Oh Marianne, who cut you down to size? 
who slashed your throat, plucked out your pretty eyes? 
who drew your blood straight from your heart? 
who spelled your name on the ground with a cursive mark? 

Mariannne, you've done it now 
Buried, Marianne, 6 feet under 
Marianne 

Oh Marianne, you came up on the scene 
You sold your soul for the silver screen 
You got them marquee rose and you sang them marquee here 
Marianne, you knew the cost, it was a temporary fix 

Marianne, you've done it now 
Buried, Marianne, 6 feet under 

If you listen now and then, you'll hear her favourite tune whistlin' in the wind 

Oh Marianne, you reign for the highest speaks(?) the brightest streets 
Gonna be a star 
Beautiful voice, you're such a pretty thing 
Marianne, what good is a corpse if it cannot sing 

Marianne, you've done it now 
Buried, Marianne, 6 feet under
