Here's more interesting things in songs and lyrics tied to Suzanne Vega or about the 2000s in general.

She’d come to my house
and dance in the hall
with the music up loud
against the light on the wall

I danced beside her
feeling no shame
we were in costume
and this was a game

She’d put on her skirt
of layers of chiffon
the top of the umbrella had come off
so I put that on

We’d dance together then
an awkward ballet
she was 20 years older than I was
but still we did play

She was 20 years older than me
and many times my size
but it’s her little feet I remember
and the look in her eyes

Once when I saw her
she made me a doll
of ribbon and paper and ink
and lace, I recall

I danced beside her
feeling no shame
we were in costume
and this was a game

I think of her now I’m older
I still love to dance
something will shine through the body
if you give it a chance
