Sacrificial sailing feeling super melodramas
and I know I wasn't seeing things too clear
and that's when all the works of fiction started
and now I'm socially retarded
and everything for once is mighty clear

and there were holes in her story
and the air smelled of deceit
tonight the first thing she'll see
is a pair of danglin' feet

Well I'm back up with my next of kin
And they're shooting all the shit again
I swear I never thought I'd sink so low
But here I am all sorts of medicatin'
Hind sight is so educatin'
All that they could say is I've been warned

and there were holes in her story
and the air smelled of deceit
tonight the first thing she'll see
is a pair of danglin' feet

and there were holes in her story
there were stains right on the sheets
tonight the first thing she'll see
is a pair of danglin' feet

In the gutter gasoline
Suffocates our self esteem
Desensitize, desensitize me
Hopeless hearts anesthetize me
Your voice will light our streets
when you are gone

This town is a garbage pile
If it takes us down,
We'll go out in style
She swears she's seen god
And we''re all forsaken
Hide the guitars, man,
There's windows breakin'
There is blood spilled on our streets when You are gone
The blood will cleanse our streets when You are gone
And I'm left screaming on this thoroughfare,
Lies a perfect angel with scattered hair
you tell me it's been lurking
This whole time down there
Just to carry you away from here

In the gutter gasoline
It shimmers like a serpent queen
Junk yard dogs bring angel choirs
my fortune caught with pipes and wires
I worship at their feet when you are gone
I worship at their feet when you are gone


. . .



Hit them where hurts
Listen for what it's worth
Hi them where it hurts
They only care
what is it worth?
It was a long long time ago
You found me naked
by the side of the road
You picked me up out of that hole
mouth to mouth and
soul to soul

La luz de cada dia
Te siento conmigo!

I swear it's love
it's love that we are dyin gof
it's true
you'll know it's true
when it breaks your heart in two
has it always sounded like this?
My name upon your lips
has it always taken so long?
to get to this part of the song

La luz de cada dia
Te siento conmigo

Dark Eyes

[No lyrics]

. . .



Mass hallucination on the ballroom floor
An ancient rite of passage on the shithouse door
And you keep stealing all my cigarettes
And your whiskey breath
Is drowning out the words your'e saying
But go ahead, get 'em off your chest

And I feel it in the marrow of my lazy bones
You're onto something better
And there's always someone better

Did I drink you down?
Did I drink you down?
Don't let me drink you down here to my level?

That ain't too good
That ain't too good
No, that ain't too good

Oh here I go again you've heard it all before
But I only caught a glimpse
Can I see a little more?
You give it all, give it all
But it's never enough
When you're deaf, and dumb, and blind with love

And I can see down to the bottom of your big blue eyes
You're onto something better
And there's always someone better

Did I drink you down?
Did I drink you down?
Don't let me drink you down here to my level.

That ain't too good
That ain't too good
No, that ain't too good


. . .



Love is like a paradise
With rumors flying, and sacrifice
And then out before my eyes
Underneath the big city skies
And the moonlight on the moonlight
She looked down with her eyes to me
and the moonlight, and the moonlight
I'm so tragic and late

We say:
We wanna die
We aren't alive in here
Why's it so bright in here?
We aren't alive in here
I chew my own heart out
I chew my own heart out
I chew my own heart out, for you

We're shooting on the hoops curves
We're swimming in, the asphalt
And we're going straight to jail
Yeah, we're going straight to hell for this

I saw sunrise down on Cicero
With the drag queens, and the dirty old hoes
We had it going on last night
We were all down here last night
Where the hell were you?

We aren't alive in here
We aren't alive in here
Why's it so bright in here?
We aren't alive in here
I chew my own heart out
I chew my own heart out
I chew my own heart out, for you
All for you

I snatched you away from the jaws of the world
But I drank up her oceans and dried up her pearls.
I acted reprehensibly.
I acted like she was sent here for me.
Gold in the water, and under the water
And the richer man gave his lovely daughter
for lack of decency.
She robbed a thief like me.

I would saw off my limbs for a little bit more.
I would trust you,. but trust is such a dirty bord.
I would saw off my limbs for a little bit more.
I loved you, but love is like a dirty whore.

Aah-oooh. Aah-oooh. Aah-ooh. Aah-oooooh.

Well I snatched her away from the jaws of the world
But I drank up her diamonds and I dried up her pearls.
I acted reprehensibly.
I acted like she was made for me.
And now into the water. And under the water.
I'm baptized with the neighbor's daughter for a life of decency.
She saved a wretch like me.

I would saw off my limbs for a little bit more.
I would trust you, but trust is such a dirty word.
I would saw off my limbs for a little bit more.
Oh, I loved you, but love is like a dirty whore.

Aah-oooh. Aaah-oooh. Aah-ooh.
Aah-oooooooooooooh.


. . .


life is short
the sky (or heaven) is short
life is short

I'll meet you tonight
I'll meet you tonight

my love, I wait for you this night
my love, I wait for you this night
my love I'll meet you tonight
just you and I

your life is short, my love
this night is dead, my love

ajajajja bola de pendejos, pinches gabachos diciendo que hablan español y no pueden entender "mi amor te espero esta noche solo tu y yo" jaja en fin buena rola!

. . .



The end, it shouldn't end like this
it's the bottle she is merciless
she's stringing me along
she's stringing me along

And how could such a palace house
deceit and malice
there's something wrong here
there's something wrong here

As the words were chosen
his heart was frozen
his soul had spoken
but it sounded all twisted and broken

Years and years ago
they delivered the final blow
and suddenly his life ain't worth a damn

There were ghosts
and they lit up this town
but they left
when they sold off the underground
we ain't welcome here no more

As the words were chosen
his heart was frozen
his soul had spoken
but it sounded all twisted and broken

I, I won't let you down
it's my first day back in town
but my skin is six feet underground
and everything is different now

The end, it shouldn't end like this
it's the bottle, she is merciless
she's stringing me along
she's stringing me along again

As the words were chosen
his heart was frozen
his soul had spoken
but it sounded all twisted and broken


. . .



Junto a la luna sangrienta
Con tu pequeño corazón
Con tu pequeño, con tu pequeño corazón.

Hoy es el dia del novato
Hoy es el dia de la diabla
Con tu pequeño, con tu pequeño corazón.

You're not deserving all my love
You're not deserving all my soul
Eres tu la maldita
Con tu pequeño corazón.

Junto a la luna sangrienta
Con tu pequeño corazón
Con tu pequeño, con tu pequeño corazón
