Marlene On The Wall

Even if I am in love with youAll this to say, what's it to you?Observe the blood, the rose tattooOf the fingerprints on me from youOther evidence has shownThat you and I are still aloneWe skirt around the danger zoneAnd don't talk about it laterMarlene watches from the wallHer mocking smile says it allAs the records the rise and fallOf every soldier passingBut the only soldier now is meI'm fighting things I cannot seeI think it's called my destinyThat I am changingMarlene on the wallI walk to your house in the afternoonBy the butcher's shop with the sawdust strewn"Don't give away the goods too soon"Is what she might have told meAnd I tried so hard to resistWhen you held me in your handsome fistAnd reminded me of the night we kissedAnd of why I should be leavingMarlene watches from the wallHer mocking smile says it allAs the records the rise and fallOf every man who's been hereBut the only one here now is meI'm fighting things I cannot seeI think it's called my destinyThat I am changingMarlene on the wall
