Suzanne Vega- Marlene On The Wall Even if I am in love with you All this to say, whats 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 dont 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 Im fighting things I cannot see I think its called my destiny That I am changing Marlene on the wall I walk to your house in the afternoon By the butchers shop with the sawdust strewn Dont 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 watches from the wall Her mocking smile says it all As the records the rise and fall Of every man whos been here But the only one here now is me Im fighting things I cannot see I think its called my destiny That I am changing Marlene on the wall
