Marlene On The Wall Lyrics

 Suzanne Vega
 
 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
 As the records the rise and fall
 Of every soldier passing
 
 But the only soldier now is me
 I'm fighting things I c
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"
 Is waht she might have told me
 
 Marlene watches from the wall
 Her mocking smile says it all
 As the records the rise and fall
 Of every man who's been here
 
 But the only one here 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
