[Verse 1]
Somewhere in a room with a poster on a wall
Of a man with his hand in a fist
Is a woman who's drinking and her dress is so tight
You can see every breath that she takes

[Chorus]
Every sigh, every sway
You can hear everything that they say
Something's begun like a war or a family
Or a friendship or a fast love affair

[Verse 2]
The man on the wall is his symbol of freedom
It means he has brothers who believe as he does
She is moved by the thing that she sees in his face
When he talks of the cause

[Chorus]
Every sigh, every sway
You can hear everything that they say
Something's begun like a war or a family
Or a friendship or a fast love affair

[Bridge]
Da da da, da da da da da
Da da da da da, da da da da
Da da da, da da da da da
Da da da da da, da da da da
[Chorus]
Every sigh, every sway
You can hear everything that they say
Something's begun like a war
Or a family or a friendship or a fast love affair

[Verse 3]
She leans against him, her dress is so red
They talk of the salt and the truth and the bread
The night goes along, the fan goes around
In the room off the street at the end of the town

[Chorus]
Every sigh, every sway
You can hear everything that they say
Something's begun like a war or a family
Or a friendship or a fast love affair
Every sigh, every sway
You can hear everything that they say
Something's begun like a war or a family
Or a friendship or a fast love affair

[Outro]
Da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da
Da da da, da da da
Da da da da
