Room Off the Street

[Verse 1:] 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 [Chorus:] 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 [Verse 2:] The man on the wall Is his symbol of freedom It means he has brothers Who believe as he does [Verse 3:] She is moved by The thing that she sees in his face Whe he talks of The cause [Chorus:] 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 [Verse 4:] She leans against him Her dress is so red They talk of the salt And the truth and the bread [Verse 5:] The night goes along The fan goes around In the room off the street At the end of the town [Chorus:] 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
