Ojos Rojos

Leblon was dawning
Her little mouth wouldn't stop talking
She was that lovely lost girl with red eyes from smoking so much
Carmen's eyelashes, Rita's waist

Behind her, Marilyn, Gilda's hair, Natasha's pain
Dolores' voice, Elis' smile
She didn't drive BM's, she only had a glider
Pure weed lit up at the doors of her heart

And she laughed and laughed and mixed pills
She fed the pain
She was from Flores, the family home finally fell
Everyone hit the streets to make a living

Her mother's c*nt, life began
Today with one guy, tomorrow with another, and that gift of avoiding
And that fleshy, divine, beautiful mouth
That couldn't be resisted

February 2001, a carioca hunk
Saw her downtown
He put her on a bus to Rio, a little coke
Promises of love
15 precious years under those pants

And it was all poetry, beautiful, clandestine girl
She slept all day and dreamed of Argentina
Her dogs, her friends, with Solari, with her aunt
On amphetamines

Everything keeps shining
Everything keeps shining
Everything keeps shining, love
Everything keeps getting
Everything keeps getting
Getting closer to the sun

Today I stayed singing
Today I stayed singing
Today I stayed singing in the sea
Today I stayed crying
Today I stayed crying
Everything on this beautiful morning
Tomorrow, Alejandra, tomorrow
