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
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
But the only soldier now is me
I'm fighting things I cannot see
I think it's called my destiny
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
And 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
But the only soldier now is me
I'm fighting things I cannot see
I think it's called my destiny
Marlene watches from the wall
Her mocking smile says it all
As she records the rise and fall
But the only soldier now is me
I'm fighting things I cannot see
I think it's called my destiny
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
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
And 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
But the only soldier now is me
I'm fighting things I cannot see
I think it's called my destiny
changing, changing, changing, changing
Marlene watches from the wall
Her mocking smile says it all
As she records the rise and fall
But the only soldier now is me
I'm fighting things I cannot see
I think it's called my destiny
