Los Olvidados

In my padded cell
They have my head bandaged
I'm waiting for an electroshock session
To regain my sanity

In my straitjacket
I hear them talking behind the door
The doctors are preparing the potion
It's a higher dose, yes, please

I know, the taste is horrible
But you'll see, you'll feel better
Sorry, I didn't introduce myself
I'm the patient in cell three

On the dance floor
We dance to songs in braille
Here us crazies have a good time
With a sting in our temples

I feel beautiful cramps
In my nervous system
None of this affects me anymore
Since I can't forget

Tell me why you're here
What memory do you want to extinguish
They're going to lobotomize you
The nurse starts to conspire

I can't forget you
I'm sorry, I can't forget you
Even though what we had is over
It will shine like a star that died (x2)

I lied, I didn't forget you
And I know this will drive me crazy
I'm the intense glow
That you no longer see because someone extinguished it

I can't forget you
I'm sorry, I can't forget you
Even though what we had is over
It will shine like a star that died (x2)
