Calle La Pantomima

Once upon a time, long ago
I had a dream
Where I stopped being grown-up
To be small again

Where the plants we smoked
Were grown on the balconies
Where life just slipped away, lerelere

Where cats are scared of mice
Where the moon sets every day
Where the laws are made by the pedestrians
And the cops don’t mess with us
Where the punches feel like caresses
And the dealers don’t forgive the screw-ups
I live on the street, the Pantomime

And when I woke up startled on my pillow
I saw Campanila escaping through my window

Where the plants we smoked
Were grown on the balconies
Where life just slipped away, lerelere

Where cats are scared of mice
Where the moon sets every day
Where the laws are made by the pedestrians
And the cops don’t mess with us
Where the punches feel like caresses
And the dealers don’t forgive the screw-ups
I live on the street, the Pantomime

Street of crazies and dreamers
Street of the noise from your heels
Street of rats and pirates
Street that screams, with a thousand reasons
Street of no one, street of everyone
If I’m not careful, street of fools
Street of glasses and clowns
Street of dirty tricks and deals
Street of kisses, between your legs
Street of excess, with the bottles
Stereo street, street with art
Silent street, shhh
Street of streets
