[Verse 1]
When I was 17
I thought everything would start to float up to the sky
Ships and boats, the railway line would wind between the clouds
With bad men screaming out they couldn't get down
[Verse 2]
Tell me — I'll believe it — I was a piece of clay that you both carved into a girl
Your fears under the spotlight as your fingers moulded mine
When I look down at my hands I can still see myself before I asked for help
[Chorus]
Ooh, Marlene, it got better, better, better, better
Ooh, Marlene, it wasn't the life for me
[Verse 3]
You can have my number
But I won't take the call
I'll dip my toe in just a little
Flirt with fire as it dwindles
My feet mingle with the waves
Let the water meet my knees
I would rather work with sand than clay
There's some things you can't reshape
[Chorus]
And ooh, Marlene, it got better, better, better, better
Ooh, Marlene, it wasn't the life for me
[Verse 4]
I like working at a grocery store
'Cause the stakes are low
I write with a grey-lead pencil
Tuck my hair in after 7
A quarter tab of LSD
I don't wanna climb that family tree
No, it's not the life for me
[Chorus]
Ooh, Marlene, it got better, better, better, better
Ooh, Marlene, it wasn't the life for me
