Suzanne Vega - Ironbound/fancy Poultry Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • In the ironbound section near avenue l
  • Where the portuguese women come to see what you sell
  • The clouds so low the morning so slow
  • As the wires cut through the sky
  • The beams and bridges cut the light on the ground
  • Into little triangles and the rails run round
  • Through the rust and the heat
  • The light and sweet coffee color of her skin
  • Bound up in wire and fate
  • Watching her walk him up to the gate
  • In front of the ironbound school yard.
  • Kids will grow like weeds on a fence
  • She says they look for the light they try to make sense.
  • They come up through the cracks
  • Like grass on the tracks
  • She touches him goodbye.
  • Steps off the curb and into the street
  • The blood and feathers near her feet
  • Into the ironbound market
  • In the ironbound section near avenue l
  • Where the portuguese women come to see what you sell
  • The clouds so low the morning so slow
  • As the wires cut through the sky
  • She stops at the stall
  • Fingers the ring
  • Opens her purse
  • Feels a longing
  • Away from the ironbound border
  • Fancy poulty parts sold here.
  • Breasts and thighs and hearts.
  • Backs are cheap and wings are nearly free.
  • Nearly free
