El Perro Verde

The Green Dog
Yesterday I put the sun to soak,
I wanted to be the green dog again,
Today I have red little eyes,
I was dancing with bad luck,
I told her my whole life
Toasting my hoarse voice to the air,
I danced in her dress drunk with sorrow,
I drank reason, I smoked my heart,
And I won't see you again,
I couldn't mix water with oil,
And when the stars come out
I'm already hanging from a dream's shred,
The whole world is not enough for me,
Last night I felt small,
And planted in a pot without soil
I invent another world with open doors,
Where kisses don't taste like shit,
I'm looking for another clean stumble,
And I've lost myself again,
I couldn't mix water with oil,
What do you want, companion,
For when you come with me?
What can a
Highwayman of lost roads offer you?
A seamstress in the threads
That have tangled my life,
I'm the one who has no place,
I'm the pinch for when you forget
That I am... the green dog,
That I am... the green dog,
Let me bark in your bedroom,
Don't you see the sky is clouding over?
So you won't cry so alone,
If you want, you urge me to bite the ground,
I'm used to painting my soles
The color of the dust wherever I want,
My dreams walk on any sidewalk,
I've looked into the corner where I swear my love,
And I've seen you hide,
I couldn't mix water with oil,
Today I sow my body with a punch
Of fiery paths,
I make love to myself without looking,
With a furrowed brow,
Then I break everything in the time
It takes to drink a sip of wine,
I become a chisel drilling the skin
Of my rotten fate,
What do you want, companion,
For when you come with me?
What can a
Highwayman of lost roads offer you?
A seamstress in the threads
That have tangled my life,
I'm the one who has no place,
I'm the pinch for when you forget...
... about me.
