Mariene on the Wall |
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 cannot see |
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’s shop with the sawdust strewn |
«Don't 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 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 |
