SUZANNE VEGA lyrics : "Straight Lines"

There's a sound
Across the alley
Of cold metal

Touching skin

And you can see

If you look in her window
That she has gone and cut
Her hair again


In straight lines
Straight lines


Those soft golden lights in the morning
Are now on her wooden floor

The wind has swept them through the apartment
She don't need them
Any more

Any more
Any more...


She's cut down
On her lovers
Though she still dreams

Of them at night

She's growing straight lines

Where once were flowers
She is streamlined
She is taking the shade down

From the light

To see the straight lines

Straight lines

She wants to cut through the circles

That she has lived in before
She wants to finally kill the delusions
She won't need them

Any more
Any more
Any more...


But there's a sound
Across the alley

Of cold metal
Too close to the bone


And you can see
If you look in her window
The face of a woman

Finally alone

Behind straight lines

Straight lines
