Marlene on The Wall — текст песни (Suzanne Vega)

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 butcher shot with the sawdust strewn

dont give away the goods too soon

Is waht she might have told me



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
