Contra Todo Pronóstico

I know I'm breathing because I still run away
From everyone who wants me to die and revive
And if any Paco Umbral repeats it to me
He must start to search a burning nail

Sometime things go right, sometimes they don't
Sometimes I'm the one who laughs last
The Day of the Dead I put flowers
On my gravediggers tombs

I took a bite of the cake without turning off the candles
I saw the Sun raise in Mexico and set in New York
If I appear in your soup
Let it be a love episode

In London, I played the Revolution
Buenos Aires varnished my heart
Life taught me how to play with fire
And how to say Messi where I once said Diego

Against every prediction, I learnt how to land standing
Against every prediction, "the fish dies by the mouth"
Who claims that I'm my worst enemy
That, right here, right there, right now
I get along with myself like cats and dogs

I've never signed for third-party damages
Nor made to size suits for naked princes
If you hug me and use me as a shield
I correspond by shooting the messenger

Sometimes I have it all and want more
Sometimes I sleep and forget to dream
And sometimes I heal the wounds
By dancing the suicide's rock'n'roll

Against every prediction, guitar in a bandoleer
Against every prediction, I come back to the road
Some say I'm my worst enemy

Against every prediction, the prophet was a traitor
Against every prediction, the loser's won
And right here, right there, right now
Because I get along with myself like cats and dogs

Against every prediction, I learnt how to land standing
Against every prediction, they are skidding again
The ones who said that I'm my worst enemy
