SUZANNE VEGA LYRICS - If I Were A Weapon

"If I Were A Weapon"



If I were a weapon

you said I'd be a gun

lethal at close range i guess

with silencer and stun



but I feel more like a needle

always pulling on the thread

always making the same point again

and wondering if you heard what I just said



if you were a weapon

a hammer's what you'd be

blunt and heavy at the end

and coming down on me



but i've concealed a weapon

in a pocket knife attack

all folded up inside until you see the shine

and then you'll want it back



oooh

if I were a weapon

you said i'd be a gun

lethal at close range I guess

w silencer and stun



well, if I am that weapon

I am pointing now at you

so just put down the hostage and we'll

talk it down until we see this through
