"Room Off The Street" lyrics
"Room Off The Street"
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
When 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
Da da da, da da da da da
Da da da da da, da da da da
Da da da, da da da da da
Da da da da da, da da da da
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
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
Da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da
Da da da, da da da
Da da da da
