Even if I am in love with you
All this to say, whatâs 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 donât talk about it later
Marlene who watches from the wall
Her mockin' smile says it all
As she records the rise and fall
Of every soldier passing
But the only soldier now is me
Iâm fighting things I cannot see
I think itâs 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
Donât
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 who watches from the wall
Her mocking smile says it all
As she records the rise and fall
Of every soldier passing
But the only soldier now is me
Iâm fighting things I cannot see
I think itâs called my destiny that I am changing
Marlene on the wall
Marlene who watches from the wall
Her mocking smile says it all
As she records the rise and fall
Of every soldier passing
But the only soldier now is me
Iâm fighting things I cannot see
I think itâs called my destiny that I am changing
Marlene on the wall
And even if I am in love with you
All this to say, whatâs 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 donât talk about it later
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 who watches from the wall
Her mocking smile says it all
As she records the rise and fall
Of every man who's been here
But the only one here now is me
Iâm fighting things I cannot see
I think itâs called my destiny that I am changing
Changing, changing
Changing, changing
Marlene who watches from the wall
Her mocking smile says it all
As she records the rise and fall
Of every soldier passing
But the only soldier now is me
Iâm fighting things I cannot see
I think itâs called my destiny that I am changing
Marlene on the wall
