Suzanne Vega
99.9 F°
Rock in this pocket
Blood makes noise
In Liverpool
99.9 F°
Blood sings
Fat man & dancing girl
In my movie
As a child
Bad wisdom
When heroes go down
As girls go
Song of sand
Private goes public

00:01
00:14 Excuse me
00:17 If I may
00:20 Turn your attention
00:24 my way
00:27 One moment
00:30 I won't plead
00:34 It isn't much
00:37 It's what I need
00:39 And what's so small to you
00:43 is so large to me
00:48 If it's the last thing I do
00:50 I'll make you see
00:57 If you turn from me
01:00.7 You darken my sun
01:03 You snap that thin thread
01:06.5 I call my horizon
01:08 And I'd like to remind you
01:13 of something small
01:15 that the rock in this pocket
01:19 could cause your fall
01:22 And what's so small to you
01:26 Is so large to me
01:29 If it's the last thing I do
01:33 I'll make you see
01:36 So small to you
01:39 And so large to me
01:42 If it's the last thing I do
01:47 I'll make you see
01:57
02:01 I might be out like a light
02:04 extinguished in the throw
02:08 But I'll hit my mark
02:11 And you'll know
02:15 Because I'm really well acquainted
02:18 with the span of your brow
02:21 And if you didn't know me then
02:25 You'll know me now
02:27
02:28 You'll know me now
02:32 And what's so small to you
02:35 Is so large to me
02:38 If it's the last thing I do
02:43 I'll make you see
02:45 So small to you
02:49 And so large to me
02:52 If it's the last thing I do
02:56 I'll make you see
02:59 make you see
03:02
03:03 make you see

00:14 I'd like to help you doctor
00:15 Yes I really would
00:16 But the din in my head
00:17 It's too much and it's no good
00:19 I'm standing in a windy tunnel
00:20 Shouting through the roar
00:21 And I'd like to give you the information
00:23 You're asking for
00:24 But blood makes noise
00:28 It's ringing in my ear
00:30 Blood makes noise
00:33 And I can't really hear you
00:34 In the thickening of fear
00:36
00:45 I Think that you might want to know
00:46 The details and the facts
00:48 But there's something in my blood
00:49 Denies the memory of the acts
00:50 So just forget it Doc.
00:51 I think it's really
00:52 Cool that you're concerned
00:53 But we'll have to try again
00:54 After the silence have returned
00:56 Cause blood makes noise
01:00 It's ringing in the ear
01:02 Blood makes noise
01:04 And I can't really hear you
01:05 In the thickening of fear
01:07
01:33 Blood makes noise...
01:35
01:41 Blood makes noise...

00:04 In Liverpool
00:08 on Sunday
00:12 No traffic
00:15 on the avenue
00:19 The light is pale and thin
00:22.6 Like You
00:27.6 No sound,
00:29.5 down in this part of the town
00:35 except for the boy in the belfry
00:37.5 he's crazy
00:38.5 He's throwing himself
00:40.5 down from the top of the tower
00:44.4 like a hunchback in heaven
00:46.5 he's ringing the bells in the church
00:48.6 for the last half an hour
00:52 he sounds like he's missing something
00:54.4 or someone that he knows
00:56.5 he can't have have now
00:59 and if he isn't I certainly am
01:04
01:05.8 Homesick for a clock
01:09 that told the same time
01:14 sometimes you made no sense to me
01:22 if you lie on the ground
01:24 in somebodys arms
01:29 You'll probably swallow some of their history
01:37 And the boy in the belfry
01:39.4 he's crazy
01:40.5 He's throwing himself
01:43 down from the top of the tower
01:46 like a hunchback in heaven
01:48 he's ringing the bells in the church
01:50.5 for the last half an hour
01:53.6 he sounds like he's missing something
01:56.4 or someone that he knows
01:58 he can't have have now
02:01 and if he isn't I certainly am
02:05
02:24 I'll be the girl who sings for my supper
02:32 You'll be the monk whose forehead is high
02:39 he'll be the man who's already working
02:46 spreading a memory all trough the sky
02:53 In Liverpool on Sunday
03:00 No reason to even remember you now
03:09 Except for the boy in the belfry
03:11 he's crazy
03:12 He's throwing himself
03:14 down from the top of the tower
03:18 like a hunchback in heaven
03:20 he's ringing the bells in the church
03:22.6 for the last half an hour
03:26 he sounds like he's missing something
03:28.3 or someone that he knows
03:30 he can't have have now
03:33 and if he isn't I certainly am
03:42
03:55 In Liverpool

04:10 In Liverpool

00:08 99.9 Fahrenheit degrees
00:11 Stable now, with rising possibilities
00:15 It could be normal but it isn't quite
00:18 Could make you want to stay awake at night
00:21 You seem to me
00:24 Like a man
00:26 On the verge of burning
00:28.7 99.9 Fahrenheit degrees
00:35
00:36 Pale as a candle
00:38 And your face is hot
00:42.5 And if I touch you
00:45 I might get what you've got
00:49 You seem to me
00:52 Like a man
00:53 On the verge of running
00:56 99.9 Fahrenheit degrees
01:02
01:10 Something cool
01:12 Against the skin
01:14 Is what you could be
01:17 Something cool
01:19 Against the skin
01:21 Is what you
01:23 Could be needing
01:26
01:27 99.9 Fahrenheit degrees
01:32
You seem to me
Like a man
On the verge of burning
99.9 Fahrenheit degrees
Something cool
Against the skin
Is what you could be
Something cool
Against your skin
Is what you
Could be needing
99.9 Fahrenheit degrees
99.9 Fahrenheit degrees
Blood Sings
When blood sees blood
Of its own
It sings to see itself again
It sings to hear the voice it's known
It sings to recognize the face
One body split and passed along the line
From the shoulder to the hip
I know these bones as being mine
And the curving of the lip
And my question to you is:
How did this come to pass?
How did this one life fall so far and fast?
Some are lean and some with grace, and some without;
All tell the story that repeats
Of a child who had been left alone at birth
Left to fend and taught to fight
See his eyes and how they start with light
Getting colder as the pictures go
Did he carry his bad luck upon his back?
That bad luck we've all come to know
And my question to you is:
How did this come to pass?
How did this one life fall so far and fast?
When blood sees blood
Of its own
It sings to see itself again
It sings to hear the voice it's known
It sings to recognize the face
Fat Man and Dancing Girl
I stand in a wide flat land
No shadow or shade of a doubt
Whore the megaphone man
Met the girl with her hand that's
Covering most of her mouth
Fall in love with a bright idea
And the way a world is revealed to you
Fat man and dancing girl
And most of the show is concealed from view
Monkey in the middle
Keeps singing that tune
I don't want to hear it
Get rid of it soon
MC on the stage tonight
Is a man named Billy Purl
He's The International Fun Boy
And he knows the worth of beautiful girl
Stand on the tightrope
Never dreamed I would fall
Monkey in the middle
Keeps doing that trick
It's making me nervous
Get rid of it quick
I stand in a wide flat land
No shadow or shade of a doubt
Where the megaphone man
Met the girl with her hand
That's covering most of her mouth
Does she tell the truth?
Does she hide the lie?
Does she say it so no one can know?
Fat man and the dancing girl
And it's all part of the show
Stand on the tightrope
Never dreamed I could fall
Monkey in the middle
Keeps singing that tune
I don't want to hear it
Get rid of it soon
Monkey in the middle
Keeps doing that trick
It's making me nervous
Get rid of it quick
(If You Were) 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
Diagnostic hand
Upon her belly and her throat
If you were in my movie
You could be the detective
You could sit behind the desk
With a question on your lip
Examine her for motive
Investigate the scene
In the ever present danger
Keep the holster at your hip
If you were in my movie
If you were in my movie
If you were in my movie
If you were in my movie
You could be the priest
Long black frock
White collar at the neck
You could come to the confession
You could give a girl a thrill
You could save her from her passion
Keep her body in check
If you were in my movie
If you were in my movie
If you were in my movie
If you were in my movie
You could be the gangster
Double-breasted pinstriped
Man with the cigarette
Go running down the alley
With a double-crossing blond
Explaining to the jury
That you hadn't done anything yet
If you were in my movie...
As A Child
As a child
You have a doll
You see this doll
Sitting in her chair
You watch her face
Her knees apart
Her eyes of glass
In a secretive stare
She seems to
She seems to
She seems to
Have a life
Pick up a stick
Dig up a crack
Dirt in the street
Becomes a town
All of the people
Depend on you
Not to hurt them
Or bang the stick comes down
And they seem to
They seem to
They seem to
Have a life
As a child
You see yourself
And wonder why
You can't seem to move
Hand on the doorknob
Feel like a thing
One foot on the sidewalk
Too much to prove
And you learn to
You learn to
You learn to
Have a life
Bad Wisdom
Mother the doctor knows something is wrong
Cause my body has strange information
He's looked in my eyes and knows I'm not a child
But he doesn't dare ask the right question
Mother my friends are no longer my friends
And the games we once played have no meaning
I've gone serious and shy and they can't figure why
So they've left me to my own daydreaming
What price to pay
For bad wisdom
What price to pay
For bad wisdom
Too young to know
Too much too soon
Bad wisdom
Bad wisdom
Mother you've taught me the laws are so fine
If I'm good that I will be protected
I've fallen through the crack and there's no getting back
And I'll never trust whoever gets elected
Mother your eyes have gone suddenly cold
And it wasn't what I was expecting
Once I did think that I'd find comfort there
And instead you've gone hard and suspecting
What price to pay
For bad wisdom
What price to pay
For bad wisdom
Too young to know
Too much too soon
Bad wisdom
Bad wisdom
Mother I'm cut at the root like a weed
Cause there's no one to hear my small story
Just like a woman who walks in the street
I will pay for my life with my body
What price to pay
For bad wisdom
What price to pay
For bad wisdom
Too young to know
Too much too soon
Bad wisdom
Bad wisdom
When Heroes Go Down
When heroes go down
They go down fast
So don't expect any time to
Equivocate the past
When heroes go down
They land in flame
So don't expect any slow and careful
Settling of blame
I heard you say
You look out for the feet of clay
That someone will be falling next
Without the chance
For last respects
You feel the disappointment
When heroes go down
Man or woman revealed
You can't expect any kind of mercy
On the battlefield
I heard you say
You look out for the feet of clay
That someone will be falling next
Without the chance for last respects
You feel the disappointment
When heroes go down
Man or woman revealed
Do you show any kind of mercy
On the battlefield?
When heroes go down
When heroes go down
When heroes go down
As Girls Go
You make a really good girl
As girls go
Still kind of look like a guy
I never thought to wonder why
If I could pull this off
Would I know for certain
The real situation
Behind the curtain
So beautiful
Damsel in distress
Not exactly natural
Stunning none the less
What happened to you?
To make you more girl than girls are
Would you ever show or tell
Cause you're so good so far
You make a really good girl
As girls go
As girls go
As girls go
As girls go
As girls go
Let's chronicle
The dark side of a life
Did you ever keep the date
With the steel side of the knife
Doesn't matter to me
Which side of the line
You happen to be
At any given time
You make a really good girl
As girls go
You make a really good girl
As girls go
As girls go
As girls go
As girls go
Song Of Sand
If sand waves were sound waves
What song would be in the air now
What stinging tune
Could split this endless noon
And make the sky swell with rain
If war were a game that a man or a child
Could think of winning
What kind of rule
Can overthrow a fool
And leave the land with no stain.
