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 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 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 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...

who's been here

that I am changing,
changing, changing,
changing, changing
