Petroleros

He was so scared that what scared him the most
Was that she would smell his fear sliding down the pillow
And his heart beat like the old broken engine
Of a huge tanker sailing at full speed

Loneliness will bite back
Like a ship wide open sailing on the high seas
Silence will come back to hover
Like a ship sailing on the high seas

While his fire scalded the smooth belly of the sky
A field full of mines was painted in his soul
And the footprints of that man were shoe graves
Trails of tankers sailing at full speed

Loneliness will bite back
Like a ship wide open sailing on the high seas
Silence will come back to hover
Like a ship sailing on the high seas

And she whispered in his ear that she slept on the roof
Because that's how she saw life explode
Until escaping the maze, cutting the wire
Free like a tanker sailing at full speed

Loneliness will bite back
Like a ship wide open sailing on the high seas
Silence will come back to hover
Like a ship sailing on the high seas

Like a ship sailing on the high seas
Like a ship sailing on the high seas
Like a ship sailing on the high seas
