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
