Room Off The Street Lyrics

Room Off The Street lyrics

Suzanne Vega/Suzanne Vega & Anton Sanko

  

  Somewhere in a room

  With a poster on a wall

  Of a man with his hand

  In a fist

  

  Is a woman who's drinking

  And her dress is so tight

  You can see every breath

  That she takes

  

  Every sigh, every sway

  You can hear everything that they say

  Something's begun like a war

  Or a famuly or a friendship

  Or a fast love affair

  

  The man on the wall

  Is his symbol of freedom

  It means he has brothers

  Who believe as he does

  

  She is moved by

  The thing that she sees in his face

  Whe he talks of

  The cause

  

  Every sigh, every sway

  You can hear everything that they say

  Something's begun like a war

  Or a famuly or a friendship

  Or a fast love affair

  

  She leans against him

  Her dress is so red

  They talk of the salt

  And the truth and the bread

  

  The night goes along

  The fan goes around

  In the room off the street

  At the end of the town

  

  Every sigh, every sway

  You can hear everything that they say

  Something's begun like a war

  Or a famuly or a friendship

  Or a fast love affair
