Perro Apaleado

Open the door of your birdcage for me
It's cold outside and my beak is freezing.
Open the door of that light bulb
That more than anything messes with your head.
Stay seated, read me the riot act
And with that face you've rehearsed so much.

And in the meantime, I grab my suitcase,
My music and my lyrics and I go to another place
My music and my lyrics
Open the door to see if you wake up,
The train has passed and you haven't noticed.
And change the record, this one is too worn out,
And after so much time, it sounds scratched.
Like a beaten dog,
With a red body,
I leave but broken,
I'm off to another place.

To another place, I'm off to another place.
Red, and the body red.
Broken, from the beating you've given me
Bam, bam, bam, bam, beaten dog.
Give me poison, let it be the good kind,
From that bottle with the skull.

Give me poison that smells like death here,
And in a hurry, I'm off and not coming back.
Beaten, beaten dog.
Beaten, fried and devoured.
Beaten, and the body red.
Bam, bam, bam, bam, beaten dog
