Suzanne Vega — If I Were a Weapon

(Oooh) If I were a weapon You said I'd be a gun Lethal at close range, I guess With silencer and stun 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 I've concealed a weapon Like a pocket knife attack All folded up inside until you see the shine And then you'll want it back (Oooh) I've concealed a weapon Like 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 With silencer and stun 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 (Oooh) Talk it down until we see this through (Oooh)
