Room off the Street - Anton Sanko, Suzanne Vega

    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 family 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 family 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 family or a friendship
    Or a fast love affair
