Los Perros Del Amanecer

At the time of the hold-up and the boarding house
When hell lurks on the stairs
When reason loses its nerves
And the pursued crosses the border
At the time of embracing
At the time of killing

At the time the rapist shaves
And the sentinel sleeps in the guardhouse
And the bad actor dreams of glory
And desire plucks its daisy
At the time of betting
At the time of praying
When birds of anxiety fly

When forgetfulness takes time to come
When the prisoner designs his escape plan
And the usurer hides his loot
And the suicidal counts the pills
At the time of heartbreak
At the time of sweat

At the time of the first alarm clock
When the exhibitionist enters the subway
And the premature ejaculator cries
And the telephone operator masturbates
At the time of ardor
At the time of terror
When crickets sing of depression

When kisses taste like tar
When pillows are made of ice
When the sick learn to blaspheme
When there are no trains to heaven
At the time of cursing
At the time of lying

When the gambler marks his cards
And the musician tears up his score
And Nosferatu returns to the coffin
And the garbage truck passes by
At the time of growing
At the time of losing
When the dogs bark at dawn
