Clara Crocodilo

São Paulo, December 31, 1999. It's almost
Little, little, very little indeed for the
Year 2000 and you, unsuspecting listener, who in the
Comfort of your home, surrounded by your
Family, unfortunately put
This record on the turntable, you who, now,
Anxiously await the popping of the
Champagne and the clinking of the glasses, you,
Mortal enemy of anguish and
Despair, be prepared... the nightmare
Has begun. Yes, I know, you will say it's
Your imagination, that you've been reading
Too many comics lately, but then why
Did your hands tremble, tremble,
Tremble so much, when you lit
That cigarette... and why did you suddenly turn
So pale? Is all this the result of
Your imagination? No, my friend, go to the
Bathroom now, before it's too late
Because in this mere record that you
Bought at a thrift store, was imprisoned
For over 20 years, the dangerous criminal,
The delinquent, the villain, the enemy
Public number 1, Clara Crocodile...

Silence gives consent, I won't be silent
I won't die at the hands of a cop
Silence gives consent, I disrespect
I won't die at the hands of a rat
I won't stay in this hell anymore
Nor will I end up in a cemetery
Machine gun can't hit me
I won't stay in this ring anymore

Hey, you who are listening to me, do you think
You can catch me? Well then,
Take...
I see you're persistent. Let's see
If you can handle this...
Girls, do you think they want
More?
They do!
You, who think you're so clever, let's see
If you can follow me in this
Maze.

Clara Crocodile escaped
Clara Crocodile slipped away
Have some shame
And help Clara, you scoundrel
Look at the spotlight in the eye,
Luck, you're nothing but a cabbage

Where is Clara Crocodile? Where
Could she be? Is she stealing from some
Supermarket? Is she robbing a bank? Is she
Behind the door of your room, waiting for the
Right moment to murder you and your loved ones? Or is she
Asleep in your mind waiting
For the right occasion to awaken and descend
Into your heart... my listener, my
Brother?
