Hello,

i am an italian fan of Suzanne, from the italian itune store i have purchased a song from Beauty & Crime that is not in the american cd, the song is  "Obvious question", the sound of this song obsess me and it is one of my favorite song right now, my problem is that with my terrible english i can't understand all the words but i can't find anywhere the liryks of the song. Can't you help me?
 

According to the liner notes addendum from the Japanese CD, they are:

Obvious Question  (Music and Lyrics by Suzanne Vega)

I am sitting over here
the line is safely drawn
the obvious question is
how long does this go on?

alcohol danced upon his nerves
played upon his skin
made him mad inside
broke everything within

and now it does the same to me
in needlepoints of fire
wreathed around my neck
the spirits take the man
and leave behind a wreck

I am sitting over here
the line is safely drawn
the obvious question is
how long does this go on?
