If I were a weapon
you said I'd be a gun
lethal at close range i guess
with silencer and stun
but I feel more like a needle
always pulling on the thread

love_made_real
Music & Lyrics by Suzanne Vega
one thing I know
this pain will go
step through all that's left to feel
I wait to meet my love made real
in_my_movie
If you were in my movie
I'd have you as the doctor
Small black bag
And a big black coat
I'd have you make a house call
To the woman
You could lay your cracking
It's a one time thing
It just happens
A lot
Walk with me
And we will see
What we have got
Ah...
My footsteps are ticking
Like water dripping

Even if I am in love with you
All this to say, what's it to you?
Observe the blood, the rose tattoo
Of the fingerprints on me from you
Other evidence has shown

Men in a war
If they've lost a limb

He was drenched in a sweat
He was mute and staring

It sings to see itself again
It sings to hear the voice it's known
It sings to recognize the face

Here i am at last, i've just jumped off the train
I'm about to start my life as a wanderer in the rain
I know so many people would give anything to be in my shoes
Well, that's a

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 ever

My name is Calypso
And I have lived alone
I live on an island
And I waken to the dawn
A long time ago
I watched him struggle with the sea

Excuse me
If I may
Turn your attention
My way
One moment
I won't plead
It isn't much
It's what I need
And what's so small to you
Is so

If your love were taken from me
Every color would be black and white
It would be as flat as the world before Columbus
That's the day that I lose half my sight

Soap and water
take the day from my hand
scrub the salt from my stinging skin
slip me loose of this wedding band
Soap and water
hang my heart on the line
