Marlene On The Wall

Even if I am in love with you
 All this to say, what's it to you
 Observe the blood, the rose tattoo
 Of the fingerprints on me from you
 Other evidence has shown that
 You and I are still alone
 We skirt around the danger zone
 And don't talk about it later
 Marlene watches from the wall
 Her mocking smile says it all
 She records the rise and fall
 Of every soldier passing
 But the only soldier now is me
 I'm fighting things I cannot see
 I think it's called my destiny
 That I am changing
 Marlene on the wall
 ♪
 Well, I walked to your house in the afternoon
 By the butcher shop with the sawdust strewn
 Don't give away the goods too soon
 Is what she might have told me
 And I tried so hard to resist
 When you held me in your handsome fist
 And reminded me of the night we kissed
 And of why I should be leaving
 Marlene watches from the wall
 Her mocking smile says it all
 She records the rise and fall
 Of every soldier passing
 But the only soldier now is me
 I'm fighting things I cannot see
 I think it's called my destiny
 That I am changing
