Un Hombre Con Suerte

A Man With Luck
Woke up on the pavement
covered in leaves that fell yesterday
I'm greeted by the magicians, the hustlers, and the good people
Woke up in the hole
where a light once guided me
with seven amulets that a visionary forgot
Someone comes and immediately talks to me about love
and then sells me the trumpet that sounded in Jericho
you'll think, you'll think that even though I look like a loser
I'm a lucky man
a lucky man
You'll see me in the same trench
with the fakirs and the crazies
we'll lose the war and no one will care
The wind moves the electricity cables
maybe this is the miracle that others will never see
you'll think, you'll think that even though I look like a loser
I'm a lucky man
a lucky man
You'll see me on the usual corner
waiting to see the city burn
furrowing my brow as I let time pass
"When doubts arise, answers evaporate just like that"
someone told me who believed they could fly
believe me, it's true that even though they were a loser
they were a lucky man
a lucky man
