Delirium Tremens (feat. Fito Paez)
And since you ask me I will tell you
That I know what it is to have
Fourteen years and be dead
Sea wolf
Anchored in the city
Tired of forgetting
A woman in every port
Impudent animal without pedigree
Addicted to the elixir
From the heart of the bottles
Misogynistic apprentice seducer
Who sings rock and roll
To demand from the stars
Eyes that learn to look
Lips that burn
Wise men who teach to kiss
Delirium tremens
Children of necessity
Rain of semen
Mistreat me out of charity
Delirium tremens
And since you insist let me add
That I know what it is to sleep
Naked, in jail and handcuffed
Exposed to the crowd
Nailed to a cross
With a thief on each side
Traveling from never to who knows
Like an Indiana Jones
Through the suburbs of the Moon
Janitor of the Tower of Babel
Brothel rhapsodist
Who seeks in all and in none
Eyes that learn to look
Lips that burn
Wise men who teach to kiss
Delirium tremens
Mistreat me out of charity
Rain of semen
Where else will you find
Delirium tremens?
Cobwebs on the clothes
Tigers on the balcony
Scorpions in the mouth
Fear in the heart
Damn you, Satan
Take off the mask
We don't fit in
That mirror
Both
Eyes that learn to look
Lips that burn
Children of necessity
Delirium tremens
Wise men who teach to kiss
Rain of semen
Where else will you find
Delirium tremens?
Delirium tremens
I know all the stories
I rejected the sacraments
I renounced Old Bob
I wandered through hundreds of cities
They know me in the bars
But they don't know who I am
There is a palace in hell
Built on fire
Where reigns the king
Of those who fear
A child falls rolling
Down the stairs
Of delirium tremens
One two tremens
Delirium tremens
