Antojo

The things that are happening
are hard to believe,
and I've been waiting
my whole life to see.

And the ones that are coming,
just wait and see, darling,
because all I want to do
is get this monkey off my back.

And even though I've lived a lot
I’m still young enough to wait,
I'll bet ten bucks against a cigarette
that I’ll live it up and celebrate.

I’m gonna satisfy this craving
when it finally comes true,
seeing so many eyes
like swapped-out shoes.

The players are gonna score,
they’ll be players of different rules,
because now, without a doubt,
we're just like the mules.

You’re gonna be retired,
a real big shot, darling,
if you haven’t been packed
like a can of sardines.

Poor my buddy the mule
who just can’t understand,
but the morning star gets me
that knows about the dawn.
