Marked Man
The Pannacotta Army

There’s a comet in the sky
Some people say that it’s a sign
What does it mean?
I guess I don't give a damn

There’s a black cat in my path
It's unlucky and I shouldn’t laugh
Well think what you want
It doesn’t make me a marked man

I try not to get all upset
When somebody spills the salt
I tend to be cynical
It’s one of my many faults

I don’t care if Friday's the thirteenth
It’s up to you what you believe
But don’t ask me to share
Your triskaidekaphobia

I try not to get my knickers in a twist
Over something that doesn’t even exist
It's just a myth

[whistling]

I could be the architect
Of my own doom
If I put an umbrella up
In the living room

There’s a raven flying by
Could it be the end is nigh?
Or just a bird
On its merry way

[Merle Fyshwick]

Marked Man - The Magnetic Letters

He's a marked man; Disperse Red 9 dye dripping from his hands
It didn't go to plan; now he's made it even worse and wiped his hands on his pants

All he wanted was a sweater and a pair of flip-flops for when the weather gets better
He's trying to go hell for leather but he can't 'cause the flip-flops are still joined together

Never seen an underdog quite like the marked man
I almost hope he gets away go! go! marked man

You know you can't out-shuffle the police
C'mon at least release this piece of clearly damaged polar fleece
And cease this tug-of-war outside the store with the men of the law
Who'd be most pleased to beat you to the floor
And make sure that you never get released

Slow and steady wins the race but conspicuous and slow wins a faceful of mace
I hope you're in a better place and you break your plastic shackles next time you're getting chased

Never seen an underdog quite like the marked man
You can never go back to Kmart now marked man
Never seen an underdog quite like the marked man
Never seen an underdog quite like the marked man

Marked Man
- caravan ray
Marked by deception, choking on conviction
I made a start to settle those past stupid contradictions
If this exit sign is marked just show me where the road goes
And now I regret nothing all those choices were what I chose

A little bit of black and a little bit of blue
A little bit of me and a little bit of you
It used to be, not anymore girl, you’re not on my new tattoo

Marked with a symbol all the world can see
Marked down for errors with no apology
All of my dance cards were marked out in advance
But the band stopped playing long ago
I never stood a chance

A little bit of black and a little bit of blue
A little bit of me and a little bit of you
It used to be, not anymore girl, you’re not on my new tattoo

A little bit of green and a little bit of red
A little bit of fear and a little bit of dread
The needle punches pain is sharp
It’s time for me to make my mark

I always kept to myself and didn’t talk to anyone,
But one Wednesday I had to admit something that I’d done.
I wasn’t Catholic, but I went to St. Catherine’s and got in the back of the line
That I thought was for confession, but instead I got an ashen sign.
I’m a marked man.
My forehead’s dirty, but inside I feel kind of clean.
The black-robed priest did disconcert me, but I also felt kind of serene.

My tank was half-full on the way up the hill, but it read “F” on the way down.
I thought it was a miracle, but it said three-quarters when I got downtown.
I wondered if I could go to Franklin’s and there wouldn’t be any line,
But people stretched back to Juniper Street, just like any other time.
I’m a marked man.
My forehead’s dirty, but inside I feel kind of clean.
I’m a marked man.
Some things still hurt me, but it’s not as bad as it’s been.

I decided to leave it there
Until my shower on Thursday.
I wanted to see the nonplussed stares,
And the nods from the cognoscenti.

I went down to watch the bats, but they were still on winter vacation.
Some kid pointed at my head, and then his mom gave him an explanation.
I went out for a late-night sub and sweet tea with peppermint.
The dude at the counter looked at me with a dumb, bewildered squint.
I’m a marked man.
My forehead’s dirty, but inside I feel kind of clean.
I can’t say if this will subvert me, but at least it broke my routine.

Marked Man
By Mellfire

It’s such a dark night, foggy and wet down on the waterfront
No moonlight, no starlight, I keep to myself as I shuffle along
So many memories here
People who mean so much
Everything I held dear feels hot to the touch

They make you a marked man
Doom and disown you without any cause
Paint you with one brush
It’s all been hearsay
I’ve broken no laws

New to this country I didn’t fit in, but it didn’t take long
I took on a practice, took on some patients, and things settled down
Those are the days I crave
People looked up to me
Working together we found common ground

What will I take tonight when my sleep won’t come?
Can I move on from this if my career is done?

They make you a marked man
Labeled and branded, for reasons unknown
You are what they say now
No trump card to play now
The stories are wild, but now mine to own

You're a marked man
Got a target on your chest
I got big plans
And I wanna make a mess
I don't care about my reputation
I just wanna feel a new sensation

Yeah you're wanted
Got a bounty on your head
But I'm not daunted
And I want you in my bed
Yeah I know that it's a risk I'm taking
All the promises I know I'm breaking

Oh no, I'm gonna shoot you down
Only room for two of us in this town
Oh no, dead or alive
I'm gonna make you mine
You're a marked man

You're a lone wolf
Solitary in the night
And you're so tough
Yeah you're sure no Mr Right
And it's a delicate situation
And I don't know if I can be patient

You're an outlaw
And you're always on the run
You got your guns drawn
But I know that you're the one
There's just something 'bout the way you're moving
To the rhythm, I just can't refuse it

Oh no, I'm gonna shoot you down
Only room for two of us in this town
Oh no, dead or alive
I'm gonna make you mine
You're a marked man

Oh no, I'm gonna shoot you down
Only room for two of us in this town
Oh no, dead or alive
I'm gonna make you mine
You're a marked man

I think the world don't want you to pull through
And I know deep down that you feel it too
I used to pray that I won't buy the lies
Still I never got the memo 'til I realized

I wanna live like a marked man
Go out like an atom bomb
Laugh when my time is up
Legends are never gone

I don't think it's right just to carry on
Sometimes my best intentions still turn out wrong
But at night my faith stays strong
If you know what I'm sayin just sing along

I wanna live like a marked man
Go out like an atom bomb
Laugh when my time is up
Legends are never gone

I wanna live like a marked man
I wanna live like a marked man

I crossed a line
Now there's no going back
It's by design
That I'm on the attack
I've listened to your words
I've changed my mind
The deal is done now
The check's been signed

I wanna live like a marked man
Go out like an atom bomb
Laugh when my time is up
Legends are never gone
I wanna live like a marked man
Go out like an atom bomb
Laugh when my time is up
Legends are never gone

Legends are never gone

Here comes your winner
Here comes your king
Here comes the one you think won't act at all like me

Here comes your savior
Here comes your lord
Here comes the one you think won't throw overboard
...but you will see...

There's a lot of shocking similarities
And I think you'll find he's a marked man just like me

There goes a loser
The one you threw away
There goes the one who starred in your passion play

There goes the failure
There goes the fool
There goes the one you never thought would be so cruel
...but you will see...

There's a lot of painful, hurtful memories
And I think you'll find he's a marked man just like me.

Here comes a new one
Looking so sublime
Here comes the one you think won't break your heart this time

Here comes your champion
Here comes your friend
Here comes the one you think will last until the end
...but you will see...

There's a lot of shady inconsistencies
And I think you'll find he's a marked man just like me
And I think you'll find he's a marked man just like me
And I think you'll find he's a marked man just like me.

Chorus:
Im a marked man with a target on my back
I can never stop to rest, take a breather, or relax,
Im a marked man; if you look me in the eye
You’ll see broken frightened spirit, yeah, who knows he’s gonna die
Im gonna die

This mirror’s made of Silver, it’s been reflecting me for years
And I can’t tell if it’s tarnished now, or that’s just how I appear
But I can’t stay ling looking at my face
By the end of this song I gotta clear outta this place

Ch

I feel my heart a beating, and the breath within my lungs
I nearly now have convinced myself that I did nothing wrong
But I can’t stay long forgetting my mistakes
By the end of this song I gotta clear outta this place

Ch

But still I keep on running, running all my life
I know that I sent myself to die when I picked the knife
The blade was made of silver, and tarnished in my hand
And in you eyes I saw the love had died, so I picked up and ran

Chorus
