Marlene On The Wall

Even if I am in love with you All this to say, what's it to you? Of the fingerprints on me from you Observe the blood, the rose tattoo 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 As the records the rise and fall Of every soldier passing I'm fighting things I cannot see But the only soldier now is me I think it's called my destiny That I am changing Marlene on the wall I walk to your house in the afternoon By the butcher shot with the sawdust strewn "Don't give away the goods too soon" And I tried so hard to resist Is what she might have told me And reminded me of the night we kissed And of why I should be leaving When you held me in your handsome fist Marlene watches from the wall Of every man who's been here Her mocking smile says it all As the records the rise and fall But the only one here now is me I think it's called my destiny I'm fighting things I cannot see That I am changing Marlene on the wall
