Suzanne Vega — Men in a War

[Verse 1:] Men in a war If they've lost a limb Still feel that limb As they did before [Chorus:] Men in a war If they've lost a limb Still feel that limb As they did before [Hook 1:] He lay on a cot He was drenched in a sweat He was mute and staring But feeling the thing He had not [Pre-Chorus:] I know how it is When something is gone A piece of your eyesight Or maybe your vision A corner of sense Goes blank on the screen A piece of the scan Gets filled in by hand You know that it was And now it is not So you just make do with Whatever you've got [Chorus:] Men in a war If they've lost a limb Still feel that limb As they did before [Verse 2:] If your nerve is cut If you're kept on the stretch You don't feel your will You can't find your gut [Hook 2:] And she lay on her back She made sure she was hid She was mute and staring Not feeling the thing That she did [Pre-Chorus:] I know how it is When something is gone A piece of your eyesight Or maybe your vision A corner of sense Goes blank on the screen A piece of the scan Gets filled in by hand You know that it was And now it is not So you just make do with Whatever you've got [Chorus:] Men in a war If they've lost a limb Still feel that limb As they did before [Outro:] Men (men men) in a war (war war) If they've lost (lost lost) a limb (limb limb) Still feel (feel feel) that limb (limb limb) As they did (did did) before
