Suzanne Vega
Men in a War
[Intro]
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

[Verse 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

[Bridge]
If your nerve is cut
And you're kept on a stretch
You can't feel your will
You can't find your gut

[Verse 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
