作曲 : 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
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
I  am  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
And  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  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
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
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  finger  prints  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
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  man  who's  been  here
But  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,
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
