Suzanne Vega - 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
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
