CadáVer Exquisito

Exquisite Corpse

The day begins and a sentimental light
It envelops us, it comes back, it goes away
The fabulous universal symphony
It envelops us, it comes back, it goes away

Tango, sex, sex and love
So much tango, so much pain

My life revolves around contradiction
Never conquer my heart
But where were you when what happened happened?
Talking to myself in the mirror, alone

I come from such a mean and criminal neighborhood
Maybe I'll burn you, burn you, maybe
I come from a neighborhood always on the verge of exploding
Maybe I'll burn you, burn you, maybe

If there is no point in living
You are looking for something to die for

Time has taught me to look
And sometimes it has taught me to be silent
Where were you when what happened happened?
Talking to yourself in the mirror

There is so much sadness and it is so mean
I celebrate the happy experience
The stupidity of the world never could and never will
Snatching sensuality

I'm looking for my philosopher's stone
In the seven madmen, in the sea
In the exquisite corpse by having no mercy
In the quintessence of music
Inside me, in love
And the
I hate having to think (what to think)
I would prefer your smile, the whole truth
I take a step forward, I take a step back
And I ask again
Let something change so that it never changes again
Everything is imperfect, love and hate
