Marlene On The Wall(Live) - Suzanne Vega

作词：Suzanne Vega

作曲：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

She 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

Well 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

She 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

Marlene watches from the wall

Her mocking smile says it all

She 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

And 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

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

She 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 changing

changing changing changing

Marlene watches from the wall

Her mocking smile says it all

She 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
