Pierdendo el Tiempo

Wasting Time
Wasting time on the corner
there's a Filipina girl
she's got no dreams, no one to claim her, no paycheck
just arrived from Manila
Wasting some divine time
everything feels both natural and strange
she might be the lost sheep
today she’ll sleep in an empty drain
Wasting time for a while now
the guys are drinking beer
talking in a foreign tongue
and they’ve got very little cash
It’ll be tough, it’ll be really weird
if they don’t end up broke
they’ll be lost sheep
living is gonna cost them a lot
Wasting time
the little time that’s left
looking for a soft heart
or some place to go
Wasting time
the little time that’s left
the world is a filthy place
to live? to live
Wasting time in a hurry
the kids drink water in the bathroom
and dance to ugly music
300 days of the year
They’ve got plenty of time and very little future
even after buying a gram
to reach the future
with last night’s hangover
Wasting some divine time
with the underground vice
living like cats
to make the time pass better
I’ve got a lot of wind
but no direction
everything feels temporary and flat
collecting songs
to enjoy the summer
Wasting time
the little time that’s left
looking for a soft heart
or some place to go
Wasting time
the little time that’s left
the world is a filthy place
to live? to live
Wasting time
the little time that’s left
living is a sentence
with no future
Is there a remedy
a way out somehow?
the world is a filthy place
to live? to live
