Suzanne Vega
Woman on the Tier (I’ll See You Through)
[Verse 1]
Too hot, no air
Loud fan and a big tin can
Wait here, steer clear
They've gone to get your man

[Verse 2]
10 AM
Through gate three with a picture ID
This old billfold
Experiences security

[Chorus]
I hear the click
These men are hard
I'll see your face
Through space and guard
You're new to me
I'm new to you
I see your fate
I'll see you, you through

[Verse 3]
Ice within
It's all cement in the government
Approved? Then move
To the plywood booth where the prisoner's sent
[Verse 4]
You read in red
The letters on the door and you know what they're for
You feel unreal
And the rattling chain's coming over the floor

[Chorus]
I hear the clock
The walls are green
I see your face
Through tin and screen
You're new to me
I'm new to you
I see your fate
I'll see you, you through

[Verse 1]
Too hot, no air
Loud fan and a big tin can
Wait here, steer clear
They've gone to get your man
