1.
Even if I am in love with you all
this to say what's it to you? Ob-
serve the blood the rose tatoo 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 walls
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 its called my desti-
ny but I changing
Marlene on the wall
2.
Walk to your house in the afternoon by the
butcher shop with the saw-dust strewn
"don't give away the goods too soon" is
what you might have told me and I
tried so hard to resist when you
held me in your handsome fist and re
minded me of the night we kissed and of
why I should be leaving
3. Instrumental

tried so hard to resist
held me in your handsome fist and re-
minded me of the night we kissed and of
why I should be leaving.
