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 youOther evidence has shown
That you and I are still alone
We skirt around the danger zone
And don't talk about it laterMarlene watches from the wall
Her mocking smile says it all
As 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 wallWell, I walk to your house in the afternoon
By the butcher shop with the sawdust strewn
Don't give away the goods too soon
Is what she might have told meAnd I tried so hard to resist
When you held me in your handsome fist
And reminded me of the night we kissed
And why I should be leavingMarlene watches from the wall
Her mocking smile says it all
As 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 wallMarlene watches from the wall
Her mocking smile says it all
As she records the rise and fall
Of every soldier passingBut 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 wallAnd 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 finger prints on me from youOther evidence has shown

And don't talk about it laterAnd 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 leavingMarlene watches from the wall
Her mocking smile says it all
As she records the rise and fall
Of every man who's been hereBut 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
As she records the rise and fall
Of every soldier passingBut the only soldier now is me
I'm fighting things I cannot see
I think it's called my destiny
That I am changing
