El Lado Oscuro de Las Cosas

It took me a while to understand the truth of things:
The thorn is the beauty of roses.
It took me a while to understand that life is very short
And that the worm turns into a butterfly
Looking for something to do,
Looking for something to believe in,
Looking for the side,
The dark side of things

Knowing that there are hidden pearls in oysters,
Knowing that there is a king of shadows.
Knowing that there are treasures covered in slag
And that there is a place called Babylon
Looking for something to do,
Looking for something to believe in,
Looking for the side,
The dark side of things.

I kidnapped the dancer of the seven veils
And she danced for me in the tower of the seven floors.
If hand and key were to come together,
We would see each other again
I spent a hundred years digging my grave
And still don't have the epitaph for the tombstone.
You can applaud at the end of the play
Or shoot the pianist with guns.

Looking for something to do,
Looking for something to believe in,
Looking for the side,
The dark side of things
Looking for something to do,
Looking for something to believe in,
Looking for the side,
The dark side of things.

Looking,
Looking,
Looking,
Looking
