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
