Suzanne Vega - Marlene On The Wall

[03:24.02][03:00.11][02:50.13][02:26.61][01:38.95][01:15.46][00:52.14][00:28.40][00:08.00]

[00:09.32]Even if I am in love with you

[00:11.97]All this to say, what's it to you?

[00:14.23]Observe the blood, the rose tattoo

[00:16.53]Of the fingerprints on me from you

[00:19.44]Other evidence has shown

[00:21.49]That you and I are still alone

[00:24.03]We skirt around the danger zone

[00:26.26]And don't talk about it later

[03:00.78][02:03.24][01:16.29][00:28.96]Marlene watches from the wall

[03:03.24][02:06.14][01:19.16][00:31.62]Her mocking smile says it all

[03:05.73][02:08.76][01:21.40][00:33.98]As she records the rise and fall

[00:36.21]Of every soldier passing

[00:38.66]But the only soldier now is me

[03:12.65][02:15.75][01:28.30][00:40.89]I'm fighting things I cannot see

[03:15.02][02:18.05][01:30.66][00:43.22]I think it's called my destiny

[03:17.78][02:20.83][01:33.27][00:45.85]That I am changing

[02:23.55][01:35.74][00:48.06]Marlene on the wall

I walk to your house in the afternoon

By the butcher shot with the sawdust strewn

"Don't give away the goods too soon"

Is what she might have told me

[01:06.47]And I tried so hard to resist

[01:08.91]When you held me in your handsome fist

[01:11.50]And reminded me of the night we kissed

[01:13.52]And of why I should be leaving

[03:08.04][01:23.72]Of every man who's been here

[03:10.39][01:26.05]But the only one here now is me
