Cinco Minutos

Walking backwards,
No time to look at the clock.
Wandering, stumbling
Facing disillusionment.

Dream highway,
Always uneven
Where will you take us?
To a thousand endless nights.

Living badly, traveling badly
Always hanging on to a song
The stories I lived
I kept them all in a drawer.

We can't find a hotel,
Nor inspiration,
We're not going to make it,
Five minutes to start.

It's better to stand up,
The waves are rising
It won't be easy to keep
The desire awake.

I've been three days without sleep,
I don't feel like arguing
Baby, this is rock & roll
Should've thought better of it.

I grab my stuff,
I'm out of here
This is not the place for me.
