Retiro Voluntario

Voluntary Retirement
Hello, I'm on retreat, waiting for the bus
Having a burger, with ham, cheese, and beer
The world is in a hurry and I'm going against the flow
I call you before leaving just to say goodbye
I already told you I hate leaving voicemails
These answering machines are known to be snitches
But it seems you left, that's why you didn't answer
If you're with someone, tell me, or maybe you went to the movies
Hey, if you're listening to me, answer because it's serious
But hold on a second, the waiter wants me to pay
No, I don't have change, I gave it to a kid outside
Who opens taxi doors and carries bags down to the sidewalk
I won't make it too long, I'm running out of battery
This crappy cellphone might die any moment
If I charge it with 20 pesos, it gives me some messages
Wait, let me check the ticket, I forgot what time I leave
11:45 PM, I'm getting on seat 20
I won't check the bag, even if it doesn't fit overhead
I got aisle seat again, damn it, what luck
Sir, I'll change seats for you, I have one left, take it
But what crappy people, distrustful and cowardly
Let's hope at least I get a girl as a seatmate
To chat for a while, it's not that I don't love you anymore
But the journey is better next to a girl
Here comes a big fat guy, please, don't let him sit next to me
He's checking the seat numbers, the piece of jerk
But what bad luck I have, he almost crushed me passing by
I asked for the window seat and he laughed out loud
Tonight I should be sleeping with you, my love
I traded you for a fat guy who took the armrest
The driver brought fruit bars, damn it
The bus started almost 10 minutes late
I don't know if your hurtful answering machine is still recording
For a long time now there's been an intermittent tone
They turned off the lights here, my seat doesn't recline
They put on a movie I can't read from afar
I'll go get myself a coffee, and the fat guy asks for one
And even though I use a double cup, I burn myself like an idiot
If this message cuts off, it's because I lost signal
I called before leaving, just to say goodbye
