Songs That Changed the World: The Most Important Songs of the Rock Era--"Luka" by Suzanne Vega

    There's perhaps an ever more powerful song about child abuse that is coming later in our feature.  This one certainly raised consciousness about the evil act by helping us realize that the victim might be as close as upstairs.  Suzanne Vega is spotlighted today with "Luka".





    "Luka"
     by Suzanne Vega


    Words and Music by Suzanne Vega


    My name is Luka
    I live on the second floor
    I live upstairs from you
    Yes i think you've seen me before
    If you hear something late at night
    Some kind of trouble, some kind of fight

    Just don't ask me what it was (3x)

    I think it's 'cause i'm clumsy
    I try not to talk too loud
    Maybe it's because i'm crazy
    I try not to act too proud
    They only hit until you cry
    And after that you don't ask why

    You just don't argue anymore (3x)

    Yes i think i'm okay
    I walked into the door again
    If you ask that's what i'll say
    And it's not your business anyway
    I guess i'd like to be alone
    With nothing broken, nothing thrown

    Just don't ask me how i am (3x)

    My name is Luka
    I live on the second floor
    I live upstairs from you
    Yes i think you've seen me before
    If you hear something late at night
    Some kind of trouble, some kind of fight

    Just don't ask me what it was(3x)

    They only hit until you cry
    And after that you don't ask why

    You just don't argue anymore (3x)
