Madeleine and Marie
Madeleine and Marie
Are catching up on the phone
Gonna meet for a drink or three
But only one of them's going home alone
One's got ruby red nails and lips
One's got yellow-stained fingertips
One's got a fresh tan from the beach
One's got dreams just out of reach
One of them's who she always wanted to be
And one of them's named Marie
Madeleine and Marie
Both say it's been too long
One gets her drinks for free
One skips the tip when they get her order wrong
One got a job at a magazine
One got pregnant at seventeen
One's showing off her bare midriff
One's still sore from a double shift
One of them's who she always wanted to be
And one of them's still Marie
One had a father who held her close
One had a mother who overdosed
One made choices to rise or fall
One of them never had any choice at all
Madeleine and Marie
Hug it out and say goodbye
Both smile and both agree
To keep in touch but they know it's just a lie
'Cause one's in a cab with a man she met
One's on the train with a cigarette
One falls in love with an open heart
One locks the door and falls apart
One of them's who she always wanted to be
And one will always be Marie
Always be Marie
