Suzanne Vega - Institution Green Lyrics

Institution green The walls are cracked and dim And we are standing in a line Waiting for our faces to be seen Institution green Watch the floor and cound the hours None will meet my eyes Private people in this public place I wonder if they’ll take a look Find my name inside that book Lose me on the printed page Where to point the aimless rage I cast my vote upon this earth Take my place for what it’s worth Hunger for a pair of eyes To notice and to regognize Institution green A woman stands behind a table She will call my name After that I’ll be admitted in I wonder if she’ll take a look Find my name inside that book Lose me on the printed page Where to point the aimless rage I cast my vote upon this earth Take my place for what it’s worth Hunger for a pair of eyes To notice and to regognize Institution green Teach me how to pull the lever Push the curtain closed Take what’s needed then just Let me go Suzanne Vega Lyrics Institution Green Lyrics
