Woman On The Tier (I`ll See You Through) — текст песни (Suzanne Vega)

Too hot. No air.

Loud fan and a big tin can.

Wait here. Steer clear.

They`ve gone to get your man.



10 AM.

Through gate 3 with picture ID.

This old billfold

Experiences security.



I hear the click. These men are hard.

I`ll see your face through bar and guard.

You`re new to me. I`m new to you.

I see your fate. I`ll see you

You through.



Ice within.

And it`s all cement in the government.

Approved? Then move

To the plywood booth where the prisoner`s sent.



You read in red

The letters on the door and you know what they`re for.

You feel unreal.

And the rattling chain`s coming over the floor.



I hear the clock. These walls are green.

I see your face through tin and screen.

You`re new to me. I`m new to you.

I see your fate. I`ll see you

You through.



Too hot. No air.

Loud fan and a big tin can.

Wait here. Steer clear.

They`ve gone to get your man.
