La Mirada

The kid looks at the man and holds his gaze
The kid looks at the man and holds his gaze
Crowded in a subway
Oh, how they hold the gaze

The fare doubled and no one said anything
The fare doubled and no one said anything
There are delays in the subway and they hold each other's gaze

Up on the streets a woman at the bus stop
Up on the streets a woman at the bus stop
It's early, there are already car horns and she avoids those looks

Restocking the shelves, the gaze watches me
Restocking the shelves, the gaze watches me
Work dignifies that's what my boss says

The man looks at the man and holds his gaze
The man looks at the man and holds his gaze
They're lost in a subway and
Oh, how they hold the gaze
