Suzanne Vega - Room Off The Street video free download

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
