Historias de Vida y Placer

And now that I have returned
To turn my body into food
And they haven't even left bones
They licked the trays on the floor

And now that I hang
Signs saying 'do not disturb my sleep'
And I jump from bed to the fire
And everyone claps if I fall asleep

And now that some light begins to enter our cell
We can't stop hearing how they shout freedom out there
All we can do is wait for the mob to break down the door
With dry blows that fill my head

They tell stories of life and pleasure
Of suns burning in afternoons that will not return
Of free worlds and lovers dancing naked
And among the dances, I swear I hear your voice
Again

And now that I lie
I calculate the distances and the moment
I plan the lies and invent
Ways to cheat in the game

And if I get lost
And my head flies through the sky
Touching joy with my fingers
I will bury myself with flowers up to my neck

And now that some light begins to enter our cell
We can't stop hearing how they shout freedom out there
All we can do is wait for the mob to break down the door
With dry blows that fill my head

They tell stories of life and pleasure
Of suns burning in afternoons that will not return
Of free worlds and lovers dancing naked
And among the dances
I swear I hear your voice

And you tell me stories of life and pleasure
Of suns burning in afternoons that will not return
Of free worlds and lovers dancing naked
And among the dances
I swear I hear your voice
