La caja negra

The black box is a custom
quite peculiar
where you gotta tread lightly
especially these days
People come and go
with utmost discretion
no one questions anything
there's no conversation
If you’re not careful
with that strange feast
you could end up the main course
and when you’re up there
you gotta stay alert
'cause you might just slip

The black box is a custom
just another custom
not a single permission heard
it’s all ha-ha-ha
You’d be surprised
at the people you find
big family men
with a drag queen behind

Shame doesn’t exist
after this experience
nothing goes back to normal
A black hole
that pulses and shakes
with visceral movement

When you’re walking downtown
watch your back
'cause a monster’s breathing down your neck
