Room off the Street Lyrics
Somewhere in a room
With a poster on a wall
Of a man with his hand
In a fistIs a woman who's drinking
And her dress is so tight
You can see every breath
That she takesEvery 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 affairThe man on the wall
Is his symbol of freedom
It means he has brothers
Who believe as he doesShe is moved by
The thing that she sees in his face
When he talks of
The causeEvery 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 affairDa ra ra, da ra ra ra, da ra ra ra
Da ra ra ra, da ra ra, da ra ra, da ra ra
Da ra raEvery 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 affairShe leans against him
Her dress is so red
They talk of the salt
And the truth and the breadThe night goes along
The fan goes around
In the room off the street
At the end of the townEvery 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 affairEvery 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 affairTa, ra ra
Ta ra ra ra ra ra ra
Ta ra ra ra ra
Ta ra ra ra
