Just like we failed Marlene
Left her with arms gaping
Like two wild birds
Entangled in string
Like we failed oh Marlene
Like we failed oh Marlene
Passed your brother on a street
Gathering money from machines
And there at his feet
Lay every little reason
He keeps going
He keeps going
Well, oh well.

He keeps going
