Just because you're paranoid, don't mean they're not after you.
%
Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain.
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today.
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you.
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.
%
So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking.
Racing around to come up behind you again.
The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older,
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death.
%
Every year is getting shorter never seem to find the time.
Plans that either come to nought or half a page of scribbled lines.
Hanging on in quiet desparation is the English way.
The time is gone, the song is over, thought I'd something more to say.
%
And I am not frightened of dying, any time will do, I
don't mind. Why should I be frightened of dying?
There's no reason for it, you've gotta go sometime.
If you can hear this whispering you are dying.
I never said I was frightened of dying.
%
I've always been mad, I know I've been mad, like the most of us...
very hard to explain why you're mad, even if you're not mad...

Y nosotros? Y nosotros qué tenemos, eh? Yo te pregunto qué tenemos? El
kani kama es extrangero y los picles, los picles ya no son nuestros...
Tenemos el 'ulce de leche, que es argentino y machazo, como un pampeano
en su rancho. Tenemos el clásico, el colonial y el repostero y en
Santiago del Estero, se lo comen a pan lactal.

If you want to be alone, just be alone
If you want to watch the sea, just watch the sea
But do it now, timing is the answer, do it now
Timing is the answer to success

Cuando le dije si quería bailar conmigo
Se puso a hablar de Jung, de Freud y Lacan
Mi idiosincracia le causaba mucha gracia
Me dijo al girar la cumbiera intelectual
%
Cuando intenté arrimarle mi brazo
Se puso a hablar de Miller, de Anais Nin y Picasso
Y si osaba intentar robarle un beso
Se ponía a leer de Neruda unos versos
Me hizo mucho mal la cumbiera intelectual
%
Si le decía "Vamos al cine, rica"
Me decía "Veamos una de Kusturica"
Si le decía "Vamos a oler las flores"
Me hablaba de Virginia Wolf y sus amores
Me hizo mucho mal la cumbiera intelectual
%
Le pedí que me enseñe a usar el mouse
Pero solo quiere hablarme del Bauhaus
Le pregunté si era chorra o rockera
Me dijo "Gertrude Stein era re-tortillera"
Me hizo mucho mal la cumbiera intelectual

Mi infancia fue en un loft, bien al costado del río
Cazabamos correcaminos y lo azabamos en el fogón
Después? Después me vine grande y la ciudad me deslumbró
Jugando al tejo en Lavalle me hice amigo del bongó

Pa' ella cociné, pa' ella lavé, pa' ella soñe
Paella completa, $2,50
Pero, la luz mala me tira, y yo? yo soy ligero pa'l trote
La luz buena, está en el monte, allá voy, al horizonte
%
El otro día tenía un plan
Pero después me olvidé y me comí un flan

Hace diez años tenía una visión
Pero nadie más la vió y hoy sigo pidiendo perdón

Agarré, me fuí pal monte
Para ver el horizonte...

Desde chiquito quería ser doctor

Y estamos en eclipse total, y estamos en eclipse total
Completamente cruzados, completamente cruzados

Si pudiera acercarme un poco más, hacia vos
Te diría que me tiemblan los dos pies, cuando me mirás
Si supieras todo lo que me costó, llegar
Hoy sabrías que me cuesta respirar, cuando me mirás

Ya ni el sol me calienta, ya ni el viento me acaricia

Demasiado claro para tanta oscuridad
Demasiados sueños, poca realidad

Con todas las manos que me acogotan, no puedo respirar
Con todos sus dedos me haría una torta, para festejar

No tengo alas, como un planeador.
No tengo luces, como un plato volador.
Perdi mi rumbo soy un auto chocador.

Un camión lleno de amigos, míos.
Cada uno dando vueltas, en su cabeza.
Mientras yo, sufro la picadura de mi propia abeja.

Un barco con animales, amigos míos.
Creyendo salvarse de la inundación.
Mientras yo, sufro la ruptura de mi corazón.
%
Soy como una mosca, parada en el agua.
Y vos sos un transatlántico, querés nadar a mi lado.
Y me estás ahogando.
%
Un paracaidista, que no deja de caer.
Lo que me lleva hacia arriba, es lo que me tira hacia abajo.
%
A veces quisiera ser un auto,
para chocar como choco siendo humano,
para romperme en mil pedazos.
%
A veces quisiera ser un avion,
para volar como vuelo siendo humano,
y no caerme como me caigo.
%
A veces quisiera ser un barco,
para flotar como floto siendo humano,
y no hundirme como me hundo
%
Y vos, me dijiste que soy, un abismo de silencio.
Será, porque vos no escuchas, que yo grito por dentro.
%
Corrí muchas carreras, tratando de alcanzarte a vos.
Pero corría sólo y siempre salí último.
%
Como un rinoceronte que lleva un pájaro en el lomo,
yo te alimento, no te veo ni te toco.
%
Cada movimiento que no se hace, es un movimiento que se pierde.
Y cada movimiento que se pierde, se transforma en una mochila.
Y las mochilas nos alejan, de nuestros amigos y nuestras amigas.
Y nuestros amigos se transforman, en enemigos y en enemigas.
Cada movimiento que se hace, es una mochila que se deja.
%
Cuando no haya nadie que me pueda ver
Con mis manos frías me voy a tejer
Un abrigo para mi corazón
%
El poco sol que entra, me deja ciego
Pero ni siquiera entibia mis baldozas frías
Aquí donde todo es frío y casi muerto
%
Y ya no tengo colores, sólo gris y negro
Aquí donde el amor es de hierro
Los días pasan y moriremos contando el tiempo
%
No recuerdo las flores, no conozco el viento
Aquí donde envejecen juntos presos y carceleros
Los días no pasan, el tiempo no pasa
Y vivimos contando el tiempo
Y moriremos contando el tiempo

Hey you, out there in the cold
Getting lonely, getting old
Can you feel me?
%
Hey you, standing in the aisles
With itchy feet and fading smiles
Can you feel me?
%
Hey you, dont help them to bury the light
Don't give in without a fight.
%
Hey you, out there on your own
Sitting naked by the phone
Would you touch me?
%
Hey you, with you ear against the wall
Waiting for someone to call out
Would you touch me?
%
Hey you, would you help me to carry the stone?
Open your heart, I'm coming home.
%
But it was only fantasy.
The wall was too high, as you can see.
No matter how he tried, he could not break free.
And the worms ate into his brain.
%
Hey you, standing in the road
always doing what you're told,
Can you help me?
%
Hey you, out there beyond the wall,
Breaking bottles in the hall,
Can you help me?
%
Hey you, don't tell me there's no hope at all
Together we stand, divided we fall.
%
Did you see the frightened ones?
Did you hear the falling bombs?
Did you ever wonder why we had to run for shelter when the promise of a
brave new world unfurled beneath a clear blue sky?
%
Hello?
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me.
Is there anyone at home?
%
Come on, now,
I hear you're feeling down.
Well I can ease your pain
Get you on your feet again.
%
Relax.
I'll need some information first.
Just the basic facts.
Can you show me where it hurts?
%
There is no pain you are receding
A distant ship, smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying.
%
When I was a child I had a fever
My hands felt just like two balloons.
Now I've got that feeling once again
I can't explain you would not understand
This is not how I am.
I have become comfortably numb.
%
O.K.
Just a little pinprick.
There'll be no more aaaaaaaaah!
But you may feel a little sick.
%
Can you stand up?
I do believe it's working, good.
That'll keep you going through the show
Come on it's time to go.
%
When I was a child
I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye.
I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown,
The dream is gone.
I have become comfortably numb.
%
Breathe, breathe in the air.
Don't be afraid to care.
Leave but don't leave me.
Look around and choose your own ground.
%
Long you live and high you fly
And smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry
And all you touch and all you see
Is all your life will ever be.
%
Run, rabbit run.
Dig that hole, forget the sun,
And when at last the work is done
Don't sit down it's time to dig another one.
%
For long you live and high you fly
But only if you ride the tide
And balanced on the biggest wave
You race towards an early grave.
%
Home, home again.
I like to be here when I can.
When I come home cold and tired
It's good to warm my bones beside the fire.
%
Far away across the field
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spells.
%
They love me like I was a brother
They protect me, listen to me
They dug me my very own garden
Gave me sunshine, made me happy

Nice dream, nice dream
Nice dream
