Leggero

Lightweight
There are hidden cars, but hidden poorly
and you see them swaying to the rhythm of those inside
trying to console themselves
enjoying on the horns.
Among Elvis' ghosts there are clouds in certain rooms
and fewer umbrellas than you think.
Do you know what the magician Walter has in mind
when his trick works, he doesn't think about anything else?
And the boys are out
some are certainly in the arcade
and maybe only a few recognize the smell of the ditches.
And you feel the veins
full of what you are
and you cling to the life you have
Lightweight, in the best outfit, with no round trip, no destination.
Lightweight, in the best outfit, with a bit of sun in your head and a song in your mouth.
Where will the band pass by, with its outdated sound
with its sound one day a bit heavy
one day instead too light?
while Key struggles because her vein is throbbing
you think you're lucky:
you just missed it by a hair
and you find yourself with someone who runs in the same circles
and you feel entitled to feel light
someone is screaming for a bachelor party farewell
for a shot of life with a rented whore.
And you feel the veins
full of what you are
and you cling to the life you have.
Lightweight, in the best outfit, with no round trip, no destination.
