Rota, rota
Negra, negra gota
Yegua vieja

Lluvia dulce
Me acompaña
Por la noche
Hasta la mañana

Hay un mundo más allá
Otro mundo más allá

Hay un mundo más allá
Otro mundo más allá

Hay un mundo más allá
Otro mundo más allá

Sangre trago
Ves malos
Mundo, mundo
No te oigo

Por esas partes
Rojo yankee
El obrero quiere estudiar
Y el estudiante sigue pa' adelante

Aguanta que fui

No te vayas y te vas
No te vayas y te vas
No te vayas y te vas...

Well these days I'm spread so thin
I'm getting carried up by the wind
Every time you get high
You might see me floating by

Well so long old bean
It's been a dream being with you
I couldn't tell us apart
Oh and I know neither could you

Don't tread on me
When you float downstream
On a moonbeam

So long old bean
So long old bean

Here comes the Mapinguari singing awww
When's there gonna be an end to wondering
When all of our troubles are gonna end 'cause
We've had our fill of finding our empty pockets
Emptier still and there probably won't be
An end to that my friends

Now that my tralala's are dating
Little sips of the Hollywood bowl
They mute up my mind
How kind of them to mellow mellow mellow my soul
Well they're the gambling kind
As smooth as a tuba' ass on the dole
Money never beats soul
How noble

Don't forget me
When you float downstream
On a moonbeam

So long old bean
So long old bean

I'm a little firefly
Landing on you

La bandera de alemania
Tiene tres ampollas mansas
Llenas de florigramas
En sus pies
Y se llaman staebroshka ahah

Mira cómo va a enseñar
Mira cómo van enseñar

La bandera de california
Tiene diez piernas rotas
Llenas de tus tiernas gotas
Que salen al revés, salen al revés
Y a nosotros nos gusta así ahah

Así que muévete pa' aquí amor
Muévete pa' aquí amor

La bandera de asilah
Que se ve desde la medina
Es oh sagrada y divina
Pa' mí corazón
Cora-corazón
Cora cora cora

Y aunque la gente es pobre
Saben vivir feliz, saben vivir feliz

Ella tiene otra
Ella tiene otra bandera
Ellos tienen otra
Todos tienen otra bandera

¡Coño la cagué!

Ahahaha bandera
Ahahaha bandera
Ahahaha bandera

Todavía falta una más
Una bandera

La bandera de vida y muerte
Es parte de toda la gente
Al cruzar por el puente
O pasar el lunar, pasar el lunar

Hay que llegar al reino del sol
A tú manera si no con bandera

Dame mantequilla
Tráeme mantequilla
Dame mantequilla
Tráeme mantequilla
Dame mantequilla
Tráeme mantequilla...

I'm high and I'm happy and I'm free
I got my whole heart
Laid out right in front of me
And I finally can see
The way it's always been
The need for peace
Starts from within

So I leave my possesions to the wind
And I'm done with ever wanting anything
Well I can die satisfied
No desires do I hide
Not today, not today
Nor for the next one thousand lives

I want to be a little seahorse
I want to be a little seahorse
A little seahorse

I want to be a little seahorse
I want to be a little seahorse
I want to be a little seahorse...

Well I'm scared of ever being born again
If it's in this form again
Well I wanna know how why where and when and then
I wanna see you be the bright night sky
I wanna see you come back as the light
I wanna see you be the bright night sky
I wanna see you come back as the light

I've been a bad girl
I ain't playin' fair
I want you to be free
But I don't wanna share
No I don't wanna let you go
But it's about time I do
I can't blame you anymore
And I still love you

Wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah...

I know it ain't easy
Being left on your own
Why did you leave me
Well I don't really know
And why wait another day
When a day won't change a thing
Please don't ever let me say
That again

Wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah...

Mama I ain't waiting
I ain't waiting
But I'm still holding on

Mama I ain't waiting
No I ain't waiting
But I'm still holding on
Holding on baby

Mama I ain't waiting
No I ain't waiting
But I'm still holding on

Mama I ain't waiting
No I ain't waiting
But I'm still holding on

The shore worn
and born black
I love that
I love that

Seaside
Seaside

The hunter in heaven
is thunder a companion by

My side
My side

Now seen Unseen
Now seen Unseen

The sea is calm
The path on high
It swoops down
to lye by

Your side
Your side
Your side

(Spoken Word)
Our story beings on a Sunday afternoon, just between Halfway Tree and Spanish Town, where a young boy, not yet the cock o'the walk that he would soon become, was lying on the grass and taking in the sweet and sensuous scent of Hibiscus that languidly lilted along the summer breeze. It was at this precise moment that he saw her. Her walk was soft and delicate, with a thaumaturgical touch that only a rabbi’s daughter could have. Before their eyes had even met, her luminous lips had already lured him in. Salvation winked with the promise of a Bris held at pinnacle and a congregation of sage’s bunny hopping and chicken dancing to Yiddish Mento. Then their eyes linked, an aeon blinked, Amharic vows were scryed upon their hearts. Just to think, this could be with the frenectomy and a few words of love...

My Shabop Shalom Baby, won't you Shabop Shalom with me, under the old banana tree?

My sweet telavivian lambs bread, my heart can act as an emollient and you'll never, ever say, "Get Bent!" Noooo, no, no!

Todamamatodamama
todamamatodamama da da da da x 2

All the signals that I'm sendin I'll keep sending them and on the constanttillionth time, I'll make you mine (Yes, I swear I will...)

Your sweet supple breasts are golden ghettos, soft statues in stilettos. Two wise men instead of three.

Whenever I'm in a foul mood, I gotta' see you in your Talmud and so happy it makes me, you wanna know who, who wrote the Book of Job? She wants to know, "Who, who wrote the Dead Sea Scrolls?

Well I did, I did. Yes.
Yes, I did, I did.
I did, I did. Mmmhmm.
I did, I did.

Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia can a fun ordeal. I swear by Solomon's seal.

Honey, when it comes to love, there's a fire in the deep end of my heart, givin' me the Heebie-Jeebies. Ya see, I know the land of wood and waters, merely fodder for loves slaughter. And darling, I've watched you cake-walk to the Immaculate Conception for far too long.

I'm Livicated to you, yes.
Ahava Raba
Ahava Raba for you
We're in Heaven
We're in Heaven, it's true.
I'm ascending...
I'm ascending tonight with you

We burned all our clothes
Blew Yopo up our nose
We're a young and lazy ol' wild boar
Yep
We followed the stork
It led us to camp
We didn't get lost but we lost a chance
1901 was the year of the bleedin' horse
And I was lonely, lonely
1902 the Devil sucked off the moon
Please hold me, please hold me
My ear to your chest,
Your back to the ground,
Please move mama
Please make a sound
That war party's lookin' for you
And lookin' for me
Damn, damn, we weren't scared
Just unprepared
So we followed the caw
'Till our eyes were locked in,
We became her and she became them
And then
I heard the voice of heaven
Sayin' don't be scared of anything
I heard the voice of the land,
The beautiful land, sing
I recognize you mother
In a little playful touch from death
As above so below
You're in control of the rest
Then the six nippled frog
Ran across the golden moss
Followin' behind us, behind us
And the W.A.C.
Was pointing Remingtons at the trees
They couldn't find us
Can't find us

Tanto, tanto, tanto claro
E tanto gris
Que é raro, raro, raro, raro
Que seja tanto assim

Sonâmbulo esquilo
Te faço gargalhar
Ah

Será que assim eu vou sem ver o que não vi.
Será que penso que me vou ainda fico aqui.

Rubro Rubro Ouro Rimo..
Desnuda o mineral
E qualquer nome lhe foi dado
Assim tá sem pensar

Pensam que não sabem nada
Que tu não pode amar
Dizem que é ver pra crer
E eu vou te explicar
Aaahh

Te tiram da tua cama e
Tua mãe a te buscar
Sem mi lábios
Sem parar
Não pode te encontrar

A vera rosa
Estranha rosa

Finjo Limpo, Limpo Lindo
Sangue é algodão
Montanha, viva, sacra, ferida, doce e celestial

Começa assim com tal tristeza
Termina tudo igual
Tudo igual
Termina tudo igual
Igual

Din-gom-durum
Din-gom-durum
(Estranha rosa)
Din-gom-durum

Estranha Rosa...

Well I don't need nobody to rescue me,
Or help me see the way you treat me.
But I do need somebody to help me say
It's time to walk away (Alright, okay)

Too many times
Too many times
Too many times
You crossed over that line
You changed your mind
You changed your mind
You changed your mind
But I never did change mine

Still I was saved by the fire
Singing its song in my heart
That hypnotized all the demons
And tore them apart
But you make them all come back
You make them all return
You're so good at that
And I will never learn
No I never will (I never will, baby)

Well I don't need nobody to heal my pride
Cause I'm playing dead inside
But I do need somebody
To come wake me up, shake me up
Help me to stand up, stand up

You put me down
You cut me down
You turned me down
And I still stick around

You tame my soul
Swallowed me whole
I lost control
And I still couldn't let you go

But I was saved by the fire
That was burning deep inside of myself
I was a knave to desire
But I finally got a little bit of help

You ripped out my tongue
You couldn't trust me with that
You hid your trust fund
I wouldn't a judged you for that
You made me feel dumb
Well I ain't new to that

I must-a treated you wrong
And now you’re treating me wrong right back
Two many times, three many times, four many times
I'm about to crack
Eight many times, nine many times
Too many times
I lost track

Still yes, I was saved by the fire
Burning deep inside my soul
Yeah I was saved by the fire
Burning deep inside my soul
(Yeah, I know, yeah I know)
Yes I was saved by the fire
Burning deep inside my soul.

Well I-I, I wanna be your lover
I wanna be your man
I want you to understand

And I-I, I wanna open your door
And love you 'til you're sore
That works for - wait a minute, wait a minute!
Yeah

I wanna be your thing, your anything your everything oh yeah

And I-I, I wanna fill your cup (cup cup cup)
Fill it up, fill it up to the brim with love
That works for - wait a minute, wait a minute!

You'll never have to ask
I'll give you my sweet grass
I'm gonna mesmerize your ass
Just give me my first chance, it's gonna be the last
I'm gonna make you wanna stay

I-I I wanna be your cow
Give you all the milk around town
Let me see, let me see you drink it down
I-I, I wanna be the pear tree
I want you to climb all over me
Try my fruit and taste my seed

Climb right on me, lay it on me
C-climb right on me, l-lay it on me!

Just let my do my thing
Until you start to sing
I'm going down all you night long
I'm gonna build a bond
I'm pullin' out my wand
Feels so right it can't be wrong!

Yeah!

Well I-I, I wanna be your lover
I wanna be your man
I want you to understand

And I-I, I wanna be you lover baby
I wanna be your girl
Blow a kiss and change the world, yeah

We're gonna make it through
You got me and I got you
Your bleedin' heart's at my command
If you don't love me to
Then bein' friends will do
Long as you let me in your bed!

Ay tu primo colorado
Con barba camburada
Y lleno de ballena
Inclinadose al sol
Ay tu rayo de luz roja
Besando nuestra boca
El beso que te sopla
Sabe a Pampero
Ay tus tres ojos lunares
Extraterrestriales
Entran quando sales
Por eso no se ven
Ay tu barba colorada
Traviesa y rebelde
Me afeito con espada
Pero devuelve

La la la la la la...

Si la noche te persigue
Entrégate a ella
O dile que tienes dolor de cabeza
Sombrita de reflejo
Dame algo tierno
Me como tu amor
Y cago el infierno

Adio, adio, adio
Primo granje
Hola Bernardo...

La la la la la la la...

Ay tus ojos colorados
Azul y anaranjados
Amarillo verde y marrón
Mi amor envuelto en tu corazón
No lo sueltes por favor
Somos elefante y serpiente semejante
Tomando aguardiente
En el sol
De una flor...

La la la la la la la...

I walk with my head down
I mumble all the words
I keep my feelings to myself only

I never stand my ground
I just stand around
If you love me then why won't you hold me

Everything and everyone around me is changing
Now that I've been the other woman

Your music rides ten horses in the sky
And gallops through the evening
You, you have no side for me to stand by
In space, I see you and her

And everything and everyone around me is changing
Now that I've been the other woman
Oh now that I've been the other woman

Like a newlywed hummingbird
Building its home
Stick by stick above the river

You are green, you are red
You are yurple you are blue
You are gold you are silver

Well my eyes are made of lemons
My tears are made of limes
You love me, you hate me, I'm losing my mind

I've sailed the sea of love aboard the ship of hopes
I'm a skipper, I'm the captain, I'm the crew

And everything and everyone around me is changing
Now that I've been the other woman
Oh now that I am the other woman

I will always be the other woman
I'll never be the only woman
The only woman...

It ain't about a heart you find
It's about the one you sight
It's about the love you hide
It's waitin' to be let outside

And it ain't about losing yer mind (OOOO)
But if you happen to, that's fine (OOOO)
But theres only one way to shine (OOOO)
And it's called trying to live

Freely, freely meu coracao
Freely, freely meu coracao
I'd like to live that way
I'd like to live that way

And my mother may not understand (OOOO)
Why I'm the way that I am (OOOO)
But I love her and I wanna let her in (do you love her?)
Get to know a friend

And now we gotta take some time (OOOO)
Get to know eachother our whole lives (OOOO)
And I call on you to remind (OOOO)
Nothing's really mine
Except for

Freedom, freedom en meu coracao
Freedom, freedom en meu coracao
I'd like to live that way
Oh I'd wanna stay stay that way

Ouuuuuuuuuuuuu ouuuuuuuuuu
Ouuuuuuuuuuuuu ouuuuuuuuuu
Ouuuuuuuuuuuuu

Ouuuuuuuuuuuuu ouuuuuuuuuu
Ouuuuuuuuuuuuu ouuuuuuuuuu

Ya ever seen anything as kind
As the wind blowing by?
I've never seen anything as wise
As the sun rise that shines

Freely, freely en meu coracao
Freely, freely meu coracao
I'd like to live that way
Ohhh I'd wanna live that way

I remember a far away laugh a sweet caresse you'd help me zip up my dress.
And I remember your arms wrapped around my neck twenty one shells wrapped in a nest.
Endlessness. Didn't last.
I won't change given the chance.

I remember no place for me to hide. Before you came home at night.
And I remember you turnin' out the lights all i ever saw was the red in your eyes.
No big surprise. Happened nearly every night your own flesh & blood.
I did wonder why.

I remember not knowing what to say & how calm you had remained your child still born with no name.
I remember the never ending summer rain.

Please don't let what was get in the way of whats next.
Don't forget that whats to come hasn't come yet.

I'm gonna die of loneliness, I know
I'm gonna die of loneliness, for sure

I'm gonna die of loneliness, I know
I'm gonna die of loneliness, for sure

My dearest friend
You'll soon begin to love again
To love again
