suzanne vega – headshots lyrics
the sign said “headshots”
and that was all,
a picture of a boy
and a number you could call,
two eyes in the shade
a mouth so sad and small,
it’s strange the way a shadow
can fall across the wall,
and make the difference
in what you see
ah…
he’s just a poster, but
he’s everywhere,
a face under a street lamp
ripped and hanging in the air,
turn the corner
and he’s still there,
watching all the people
who are p-ssing unaware,
is there a judgement
in what he sees?
ah…
on a day
as cold
and gray
as today…
the sign says “headshots”
it’s all i see,
a boy becomes a picture
of guilt and sympathy,
and so i think of you
in memory
of the days we were together,
and i knew that you loved me
that was the difference
in what we see,
but that’s history…
ah…
