Desde Lejos No Se Ve

From far away you can't see
From far away you can't see
From far away you can't see
From far away you can't see
Up, up, up
Life's slipping away, the day, the day
The soup's gone, not even cold, the soup
The bus is leaving, the van's taking off
Life, life, life
The life that's gone to waste, bastard, twisted
It moves crazily and there's no stopping it
It moves confidently through the big city

From far away you can't see
From far away you can't see
From far away you can't see
From far away you can't see

The people, the people, the people
Walk around like they're insane, heated, the people
A spider that feels nothing, the grave's getting hot
Looks like this dance is the one we do here
And I said, said, said
A friendly little mouth I like to hear say
That there are too many cops at the ice cream shop
While she stuffed her mouth with virtual strawberries
Tired, stoned, tired
Lying on the side
Laid out, it cost me, pretty drunk
Slicked back, disabled, watching all the legs that want to show
And I fell, and I fell, and I fell
In my experience, my girl
Of having known you, loved you, and lost you
Like a mermaid that then returns to the sea

Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Eh, you can't see
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Eh, you can't see
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Eh, you can't see!

Up, up, up
Life's slipping away
The day's crumpling, the turtle's escaping
A lame deaf-mute, fluorescently tied
The turtle's leaving

I sense, I suspect, I argue
Perogrullo told me, the bad part is the weed
The bad part is the rhythm, old saying
The bad part is that it moves and doesn't warn

From far away you can't see (from far away you can't see, no)
From far away you can't see (from far away you can't see)
From far away you can't see (from far away you can't see, no)
From far away you can't see (from far away you can't see)

Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Eh, you can't see
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Eh, you can't see
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Eh, you can't see!
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Eh, you can't see
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Eh, you can't see
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Eh, you can't see
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ehh, you can't see
