Título: To the moon and back

She's taking her time making up the reasons
To justify all the hurt inside
Guess she knows from the smilesr and the look in their eyes
Everyone's got a theory about the bitter one
They're saying, "Mama never loved her much"
And, "Daddy never keeps in touch
That's why she shies away from human affection"
But somewhere in a private place
She packs her bags for outer space
And now she's waiting for the right kind of pilot to come
And she'll say to him
I would fly to the moon and back if you'll be...
If you'll be my baby
Got a ticket for a world where we belong
So would you be my baby?
She can't remember a time when she felt needed
If love was red then she was color blind
All her friends they've been tried for treason
And crimes that were never defined
She's saying, "Love is like a barren place,
And reaching out for human faith
Is like a journey I just don't have a map for"
So baby's gonna take a dive and
Push the shift to overdrive
Send a signal that she's hanging
All her hopes on the stars
What a pleasant dream
I would fly to the moon and back if you'll be...
If you'll be my baby
Got a ticket for a world where we belong
So would you be my baby?
Mama never loved her much
And, Daddy never keeps in touch
That's why she shies away from human affection
But somewhere in a private place
She packs her bags for outer space
And now she's waiting for the right kind of pilot to come
And she'll say to him
I would fly to the moon and back if you'll be...
If you'll be my baby
Got a ticket for a world where we belong
So would you be my baby?
I would fly to the moon and back if you'll be...
If you'll be my baby
Got a ticket for a world where we belong
So would you be my baby?

Título: I want you

Anytime I need to see your face
I just close my eyes
And I am taken to a place where your crystal mind and
Magenta feelings take up shelter in the base of my spine
Sweet like a chic-a-cherry cola
I don't need to try to explain;
I just hold on tight
And If it happens again, I might move so slightly
To the arms and the lips and the face of the human cannonball
That I need to, I want to
Come Stand a little bit closer
Breathe in and get a bit higher
You'll never know what hit you
When I get to you
Ooh, I want you
I don't know if I need you
But, ooh, I'd die to find out
Ooh, I want you
I don't know if I need you
But, ooh I'd die to find out
I'm the kind of person who endorses a deep commitment
Getting comfy getting perfect is what I live for
But a look, and then a smell of perfume
It's like I'm down on the floor
And I Don't know what I'm in for
Conversation has a time and place
In the interaction of a lover and a mate,
But the time of talking, using symbols, using words
Can be likened to a deep sea diver
who is swimming with a raincoat
Come stand a little bit closer
Breathe in and get a bit higher
You'll never know what hit you
When I get to you
Ooh, I want you
I don't know if I need you
But, ooh, I'd die to find out
Ooh, I want you
I don't know if I need you
But, ooh I'd die to find out
Any time I need to see your face, I just close my eyes
And I am taken to a place where your crystal mind and
Magenta feelings take up shelter in the base of my spine
Sweet like a chic-a-cherry cola
I don't need to try to explain;
I just hold on tight
And If it happens again, I might move so slightly
To the arms and the lips and the face of the human cannonball
That I need to, I want to
come stand a little bit closer
breath in and get a bit higher
You'll never know what hit your
Ooh, I want you
I don't know if I need you
But, ooh, I'd die to find out
Ooh, I want you
I don't know if I need you
But, ooh I'd die to find out
So can we find out?

Título: Truly Madly Deeply

I'll be your dream
I'll be your wish I'll be your fantasy
I'll be your hope I'll be your love
Be everything that you need.
I'll love you more with every breath
Truly, madly, deeply do
I will be strong I will be faithful
'cause I'm counting on
A new beginning
A reason for living
A deeper meaning
I want to stand with you on a mountain
I want to bathe with you in the sea
I want to lay like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me
And when the stars are shining brightly in the velvet sky,
I'll make a wish to send it to heaven
Then make you want to cry
The tears of joy for all the pleasure in the certainty
That we're surrounded by the comfort and protection of
The highest powers
In lonely hours
The tears devour you
I want to stand with you on a mountain
I want to bathe with you in the sea
I want to lay like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me
Oh can't you see it baby?
You don't have to close your eyes
'Cause it's standing right here before you
All that you need will surely come
I'll be your dream I'll be your wish
I'll be your fantasy
I'll be your hope I'll be your love
Be everything that you need
I'lL love you more with every breath
Truly, madly, deeply do
I want to stand with you on a mountain
I want to bathe with you in the sea
I want to lay like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me

Título: Tears of Pearls

And we stare each other down like victims in the grind
Probing all the weakness and hurt still left behind and we cry
The tears of pearls
We do it. Oh we do it.
Is love really the tragedy the way you might describe?
Or would a thousand lovers still leave you cold inside?
Make you cry...
These tears of pearls
All these mixed emotions we keep locked away like stolen pearls
Stolen pearl devotions we keep locked away from all the world
Your kisses are like pearls, so different and so rare
But anger stole the jewels away and love has left you bare,
Made you cry...
These tears of pearls
Well I could be the tired joker pour my heart to get you in
Sacrifice my happiness just so I could win
Maybe cry...
These tears of pearls

Título: Univers

Well I'd like to take you as I find you
Imagine our clothes are on the floor
Feel my caress so soft and gentle
So deilcate you cry for more
But you know baby
You know baby does it right
And you know baby does it right
Universe inside of your heart
You gotta let me know so you can be free baby
You wanted it so much, and now that it's over
You don't know what you want
Put time in a capsule
Two minds consensual
Entwinded to pefection
If we could...
Cuddle up close
Lay your head on my chest now
Listen my heart beat's coming down
If you get tired you close your eyes now
When you wake up I won't be found
'Cause I know baby
I know you're the nervous kind
With so much going on in your mind
Universe inside your heart
You gotta let me know so you can be free baby
You wanted it so much, and now that it's over
You don't know what you want
But let me tell you that, this time,
I'm going to make you mine
(I won't let you go)
'Cause I know, this time
I'm going to make sure I look out for me
'Cause you know baby
Well you know baby does it right
And you know baby does it right
You will only end up lost in lonliness
And wake up with the words already on your lips
So I'll let you go, baby
So I'll let you go...
Universe inside your heart
You gotta let me know so you can be free baby
You wanted it so much, and now that it's over
You don't know what you want

Título: Carry on dancing

The moonlight....
Shines down intersellar beams
And the groove tonight
Is something more than you have ever seen
All these mixed emotions we keep locked away like stolen pearls
Stolen pearls devotions we keep locked away from all the world
We twist and turn where angles burn
Like fallen soilders we will learn
That once forgotten, twice removed
Love will be the death...
The death of you
All these mixed emotions we keep locked away like stolen pearls
Stolen pearls devotions we keep locked away from all the world
The stars and planets taking shape
A stolen kiss has come too late
In the moonlight
Carry on, keep romancing
Carry on, Carry on dancing.
In the moonlight
Carry on, keep romancing
Carry on, Carry on dancing.
You're never safe 'till you see the dawn
And if the clock strikes past midnight
The hope is gone
To move under
the moonlight
Carry on, keep romancing
Carry on, Carry on dancing.
In the moonlight
Carry on, keep romancing
Carry on, Carry ori dancing.
Move Closer.Passion.Stronger.
There's a magic only two can tell
In the dark night
Ultra voilet is a wicked spell
The stars and planets taking shape
A stolen kiss has come too late
In the moonlight
Carry on, keep romancing
Carry on, Carry on dancing.
In the moonlight
Carry on, keep romancing
Carry on, Carry on dancing.
Moving on...Moving all night

Título: Violet

If there's a way that you could
be everything you want to be,
Would you complain that it came to easy?
Just like the games with you and me
A resolution hard to see,
but that's O.K. 'cause I don't
see things that are plain to see
I've got a dream to take you over
Exploding like a supernova
I'm gonna crash into your world
and that's no lie
You want to give ecstasy delivered with certainly
But you're afraid that the plesure won't be needed
In a way, we're the same two people looking out to sea
For a wave that would carry all our fantasies
Violet
If there's a way that to infiltrate you
sway your mind and complicate you
I'm gonna crash into your worl
and that's no lie
Let your body move into the doorway
To the disco inside your head (Violet)
Wear a color that you want to cling to
The color inside your head (Violet)
Contemplate jealousy intermixed with urgency
A million things take a damned good shot at you and me
If there's a way to infiltrate you
Sway your mind and complicate you
I'm going to crash into your world
And that's no lie
Let your body move into the doorway
To the disco inside your head (Violet)
Wear a color that you want to cling to
The color inside your head (Violet)
I'm gonna take you
I'll do my best to break you
I'm gonna take you higher
And that's no lie
Common sense is a game many people don't like to play
But give it in and the moment takes you either way
I've got a dream to take you over
Exploding like a supernova
I'm going to crash into your world
And that's no lie
Let your body move into the doorway
To the disco inside your head (Violet)
Wear a color that you wnat to cling to
The color inside your head (Violet)
If there's a way that you could be everything you want to be,
Would you complain that it came to easy?
In a way, we're the same two people looking out to sea
For a wave that would carry all our fantasies

Título: A Thousand Words

We stumble in a tangled web, decaying friendships almost dead
And hide behind a mask of lies
We twist and turn and we avoid,
all hope of salvage now devoid
I see the truth inside your eyes
So take all this noise into your brain and send it back again
I'l1 bear the cost, shed my skin, call you up and then...
I'll say the words out loud
You could resurrect a thousand words to deceive me more and more
A thousand words will give the reasons why I don't need you anymore
Time manipulates your heart, preconceptions torn apart
Begin to doubt my state of mind
But I won't go down on what I said
I won't retract convictions read
I may perplex, but I'm not blind
So take all this noise into your brain and send it back again
I'll bear the cost, shed my skin, call you up and then...
I'll say the words out loud
You could resurrect a thousand words to deceive me more and more
A thousand words will give the reasons why I don't need you anymore
I'll say the words outloud. I'll say a thousand words or more
Manipulation. Fabrication.Conversation. Annihilation
I'll say a thousand words or more
Damnation. Frustration. Elevation.Procreation
I'll say a thousand words or more
You could resurrect a thousand words to deceive me more and more
A thousand words will give the reasons why I don't need you anymore

Título: Promises

Well don't you know I need a little indulgence?
Listen to the hunter becoming hunted
Every day there's a milion advances
Don't be too forceful you'll ruin your chances
Well don't you know that time is a broken glass
That splinters against the wall?
But the picture is coming back now baby,
And I want to take it all
Don't go making all these promises you know you cannot keep
There's a time to play a king and a time to be a thief
'Cause if you're making all these promises you know you cannot keep
You know time will be the thief and your fallen king will end up alone
So let your body move a little bit closer
Silent like the sound proceeding a cyclone
Don't you know that the powerful thinking
Can be a force you don't want to relinquish?
Well don't you knoe that,
They say that handing on will justify the wait?
But patience and elated wisdom don't share a common phrase
Don't go making all these promises you know you cannot keep
There's a time to play a king and a time to be a thief
'Cause if you're making all these promises you know you cannot keep
You know time will be the thief and your fallen king will end up alone
Well, I'm only hanging on for what goes down
I'm floating high and my feet don't touch the ground
I'd take advantage but I can't see through this charade
So don't you, don't go make it harder than hell
'Cause when it comes down to the making
You better be dammed sure you can take it
Hey baby
Well don't go making all these promises you know you cannot keep
There's a time to play a king and a time to be a thief
'Cause if you're making all these promises you know you cannot keep
You know time will be the thief and your fallen king will end up alone
Time will be the thief and your fallen king will end up...
A fool, a fool, a lonely sorry fool
Oh baby, 'cause I told you baby

Título: Santa Monica

In Santa Monica, in the wintertime,
The lazy streets so undemanding
I walk into the crowd
In Santa Monica, you get your coffee from
The coolest places on the promenade
Where people dress just so
Beauty so unavoidable, everywhere you turn
It's there.
I sit and wonder what am I doing here?
But on the telephone line I am anyone
I am anything I want to be.
I could be a super model or Norman Mailer
And you wouldn't know the difference
Or would you?
In Santa Monica, all the people got modern names
Like Jake or Mandy
And modern bodies too
In Santa Monica, on the boulevard,
You'll have to dodge those in-line skaters
Or they'll knock you down
I never felt so lonely,
Never felt so out of place
I never wanted something more than this
But on the telephone line I am anyone
I am anything I want to be
I could be a super model or Norman Mailer
And you wouldn't know the difference
On the telephone line, I am any height
I am any age I want to be
I could be a caped crusader, or space invader
And you wouldn't know the difference
Or would you?

Título: Hold me

Hey
If we can't find a way out of these problems
Then maybe we don't need this
Standing face to face
Enemies at war we build defences
And secret hiding places
I might need you to hold me tonight
I might need you to say it's alright
I might need you to make the first stand
Because tonight I'm finding it hard to be your man
Hey
More than angry words I hate this silence
It's getting so loud
Well I want to scream
But bitterness has silenced these emotions
It's getting hard to breathe
So tell me isn't happiness
Worth more than a gold diamond ring?
I'm willing to do anything
To calm the storm in my heart
I've never been the praying kind
But lately I've been down upon my knees
Not looking for a miracle
Just a reason to believe

I might need you to hold me tonight
I might need you to say it's alright
I might need you to make the first stand
Because tonight I'm finding it hard to be your man

Do you remember not long ago?
When we used to live for the nighttime
Cherish each moment
Now we don't live we exist
We just run through our lives
So alone
That's why you've got to hold me

Hey
If we can't find a way out of these problems
Then maybe we don't need this
Standing face to face
Enemies at war we build defences
And secret hiding places

Maybe it's intuition
but some things you just don't question
Like in your eyes, I see my future in an instant
And there it goes,
I think I found my best friend
I know that it might sound
more than a little crazy
but I believe...

I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life

There's just no rhyme or reason
Only the sense of completion
And in your eyes, I see
the missing pieces I'm searching for
I think I've found my way home
I know that it might sound
more than a little crazy
but I believe...

I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life

A thousand angels dance around you
I am complete now that I've found you

I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life

Título: The best thing

Never want to fly
Never want to leave
Never want to say what you mean to me
Never want to run
Frightened to believe
You're the best thing about me

Sometimes I feel like this is only chemistry
Stuck in a maze searching for a way to
Shut down run around feel the ground beneath me
You're so close where do you end where do I begin?
Always pushing and pulling
Sometimes sanity takes vacation time on me
I'm in a daze stumbling bewildered
North of gravity head up in the stratosphere
You and I roller coaster riding love
You're the center of adrenaline
And I'm beginning to understand

Never want to fly
Never want to leave
Never want to say what you mean to me
Never want to run
Frightened to believe
You're the best thing about me

Walk on broken glass make my way through fire
These are the things I would do for love
Farewell peace of mind kiss goodbye to reason
Up is down the impossible occurs each day
This intoxication thrills me
I only pray it doesn't kill me

Never want to fly
Never want to leave
Never want to say what you mean to me
Never want to run
Frightened to believe
You're the best thing about me

You're the center of adrenaline
And I'm beginning to understand
You could be the best thing about me

Never want to fly
Never want to leave
Never want to say what you mean to me
Never want to run
Frightened to believe

You could be the best thing about me
What if you're the best thing about me?

Título: The love after me

Here I go again I promised myself I wouldn't think of you today
It's been seven months and counting
You've moved on
I still feel exactly the same
It's just the that everywhere I go all the buildings know your name
Like photographs and memories of love
Steel and granite reminders
The city calls your name and I can't move on

Ever since you've been gone
The lights go out the same
The only difference is
You call another name
To your love
To your lover now
To your love
The lover after me

Am I all alone in the universe?
There's no love on these streets
I have given mine away to a world that didn't want it anyway
So this is my new freedom
It's funny
I don't remember being chained
But nothing seems to make sense anymore

Without you I'm always twenty minutes late

Ever since you've been gone
The lights go out the same
The only difference is
You call another name
To your love
To your lover now
To your love
The lover after me

And time goes by so slowly
The nights are cold and lonely
I shouldn't be holding on
But I'm still holding on for you

Here I go again
I promised myself I wouldn't think of you today
But I'm standing at your doorway
I'm calling out your name because I can't move on

Ever since you've been gone
The lights go out the same
The only difference is
You call another name
To your love
To your lover now
To your love
The lover after me

Título: Two beds and a cofee machine

And she takes another step
Slowly she opens the door
Check that he is sleeping
Pick up all the broken glass and furniture on the floor
Been up half the night screaming now it's time to get away
Pack up the kids in the car
Another bruise to try and hide
Another alibi to write

Another ditch in the road
You keep moving
Another stop sign
You keep moving on
And the years go by so fast
Wonder how I ever made it through

And there are children to think of
Baby's asleep in the backseat
Wonder how they'll ever make it through this living nightmare
But the mind is an amazing thing
Full of candy dreams and new toys and another cheap hotel
Two beds and a coffee machine
But there are groceries to buy
And she knows she'll have to go home

Another ditch in the road
You keep moving
Another stop sign
You keep moving on
And the years go by so fast
Wonder how I ever made it through

Another bruise to try and hide
Another alibi to write
Another lonely highway in the black of night
But there's hope in the darkness
You know you're going to make it

Another ditch in the road
Keep moving
Another stop sign
You keep moving on
And the years go by so fast
Silent fortress built to last
Wonder how I ever made it

Título: You can still be free

Cool breeze and autumn leaves
Slow motion daylight
A lone pair of watchful eyes
Oversee the living
Feel the presence all around
A tortured soul
A wound unhealing
NO regrets or promises
The past is gone
But you can still be free
If time will set you free

Time now to spread your wings
To take to flight
The life endeavor
Aim for the burning sun
You're trapped inside
But you can still be free
If time will set you free
But it's a long long way to go

Keep moving way up high
You see the light
It shines forever
Sail through the crimson skies
The purest light
The light that sets you free
If time will set you free

Sail through the wind and rain tonight
You're free to fly tonight
And you can still be free
If time will set you free
And going higher than mountain tops
And go high the wind won't stop
And go high
Free to fly tonight
Free to fly tonight

Título: Gunning down romance

Love and other moments are just chemical reactions in your brain
And feelings of aggressions are the absence of the love drug in
Your veins
Love come quickly
Because I feel my self-esteem is caving in
It's on the brink
Love come quickly
Because I don't think I can keep this monster in
It's in my skin

Love and other socially acceptable emotions are morphine
They're morphine
Cleverly concealing primal urges often felt bur rarely seen
Rarely seen
Love I beg you
Lift me up into that privileged point of view
The world of two
Love don't leave me
Because I console myself that Hallmark cards are true
I really do

I'm gunning down romance
It never did a thing for me
But heartache and misery
Ain't nothing but a tragedy

Love don't leave me

Take these broken wings
I'm going to take these broken wings
And learn to fly
And learn to fly away
And learn to fly away

I'm gunning down romance

Título: I don't know you anymore

I would like to visit you for a while
Get away and out of this city
Maybe I shouldn't have called but someone had to be the first to break
We can go sit on your back porch
Relax
Talk about anything
It don't matter
I'll be courageous if you can pretend you've forgiven me

Because I don't know you anymore
I don't recognize this place
The picture frames have changed and so has your name
We don't talk much anymore
We keep running from the pain
But what I wouldn't give to see your face again

I know I let you down
Again and again
I know I never really treated you right
I've paid the price
I'm still paying for it every day

So maybe I shouldn't have called
Was it too soon to tell?
Oh what the hell
It doesn't really matter
How do you redefine something that never really had a name?
Has your opinion changed?

Because I don't know you anymore
I don't recognize this place
The picture frames have changed and so has your name
We don't talk much anymore
We keep running from the pain
But what I wouldn't give to see your face again

I see your face
I see your face

Título: Estoy aqui

Ya sé que no vendrás
todo lo que fué
el tiempo lo dejó atrás.

Sé que no regresarás
lo que nos pasó
no repetirá jamás

Mil años no me alcanzarán
para borrarte y olvidar.

Y ahora estoy aquí
queriendo convertir
los campos en ciudad
mezclando el cielo el cileo con el mar.

sé que te dejé escapar
sé que te perdí
nada podrá ser igual.

Mil años pueden alcanzar,
para que pueda perdonar.

Estoy aquí queriéndote,
ahogándome
entre fotos y cuadernos
entre cosas y recuerdos
que no puedo comprender.

Estoy enloqueciéndome
cambiándome un pie por la
cara mía
esta noche por el día
y nada le puedo yo hacer.

Las cartas que escribí
nunca las envié
no querras saber de mí

No puedo entender
lo tonta que fuí
es cuestión de tiempo y fé.

Mil años con otros mil más
son suficientes para amar.

Si aún piensas algo en mí
sabes que sigo esperándote.
Estoy aquí queriéndote,
ahogándome
entre fotos y y cuadernos
entre cosas y recuerdos
que no puedo comprender.

Estoy enloqueciéndome.

Título: Antologia

Para amarte necesito una razón
y es difícil creer que no exista
una más que este amor.

Sobra tanto dentro
de este corazón
que a pesar de que dicen
que los años son sabios
todavía se siente dolor.

Porque todo el tiempo
que pasé junto a tí
dejó tejido su hilo dentro de mí.

Y aprendí a quitarle al tiempo
los segundos tú me hiciste ver
el cielo aún más profundo junto
a ti creo que aumenté más de
tres kilos con tus tantos
dulces repartidos
desarrollaste mi sentido
del olfato y fué por tí que
aprendí a querer los gatos
despegaste del cemento
mis zapatos para escapar
los dos volando un rato.

Pero olvidaste una final
instrucción porque aún
no sé como vivir sin tu amor.

Y descubrí lo que
significa una rosa
me enseñaste a decir
mentiras piadosas
para poder verte
a horas no adecuadas
y a reemplazar palabras
por miradas
y fué por tí que escribí más
de cien canciones
y hasta perdoné tus
equivocaciones y conocí
más de mil formas de besar
y fué por tí que descubrí
lo que es amar,
lo que es amar.

Título: Un poco de amor

Rasta rootsme again in so come listen to one
this is the plain no this, no this is of message
from the alluland.


Hoy es un día de aquellos
en que miro hacia el cielo
tratando de descifrar el que estés

de vez en cuando lejos
y de vez en cuando cerca
unas veces subir
y otras caer yo

cuando tú te me acercas
no respondo de mis actos
siento que aquí voy
de odiarte a quererte
de principio a fin
Rap,
rockit out and rockit in
from dublin to baby lon
jumpit out and jumpit in
from kingston to providence land.

Buscando un poco de amor.

Hay cosas en la vida
en que no encuentras salida
y ante tus ojos se cierra el telón.

Y tapas la boquilla del volcán
que se hace lava, que hace
tejiendo redecillas para ver si
puedo atraparte y aquí voy
colando la macilla en medio de
este trópico mortal.
Rap,
rockit out and rockit in
from dublin to baby lon
Buscando un poco de amor
jumpit out and jumpit in
from brasilian to medellin
Buscando un poco de amor...

Título: Quiero

Que me gaste yo la vida
devorando cada pensamiento tuyo
cada paso, que se borren tus lunares
y aparezcan en reemplazo
dibujados en tu cuerpo
cada beso, cada abrazo.

Y ahora que estás aquí
yo de nuevo soy feliz
pude entender que eras para mí.

Déjame quererte tanto
que te seques con mi llanto
que se nuble cada cielo
y que llueva hasta hacer charcos

Déjame besarte tanto
hasta que quedes sin aliento
y abrazarte con tal fuerza
que te parta hasta los huesos.

Y ahora que estás aquí
yo de nuevo soy feliz
pude entender que eres para mí.

Quiero excederme,
perseguirte, pretenderte,
quiero amarte noche y día
quiero gastarme la vida.
Quiero amarrarte a mis
sesenta de cintura
llevarte como un tatuaje
quiero perder la cordura.

Título: Te Necesito

Si es la lluvia de todos los días
que ha aumentado su nivel
ya la música no tiene el mismo
efecto que solía tener.

Tal vez haya vivido tanto
en tan corto tiempo
que no sé ni que idioma hablo
ni que velas cargo dentro
dentro de este entierro.

Siento que no tengo fuerzas ya
para saltar y agarrar el sol
y por más que yo lo intente
no me escucho ni mi propia voz.
Y no sé si he vivido diel mil días
o un día diez mil veces
y te sumo a mi historia
queriendo cambiar las pérdidas
por creces.

Te necesito, te necesito mi amor
donde quieras que tu estés
me hace falta tu calor
te necesito, te necesito mi amor
porque eres parte de mi
te necesito aquí
y es que no sé vivir sin ti
no he aprendido...
y me encuentri así perdida
como una aguja en un pajar
como arenas movedizas
me sumerjo
entre mi soledad.
Ya no sé si he vivido
diez mil días
o un día diez mil veces
y te sumo a mi historia
queriendo cambiar las
pérdidas por creces.

Te necesito ...

Título:Vuelve

Fría como una estatua de sal
en un mausoléo de crista
seca hasta los huesos por llorar
y muerta como puede estar
Tiberio en su guacal.

Toda en ruinas como el Partenón
sola como termió Colón,
pálida como una Mona Lisa,
amargada como un limón,
arrugada como acordeón.

Como la Esfinge cuando perdió
la nariz
como Alejandro Magno sin
su espada, y sin su dardo,
como un pobre cristiano en
Busco algo que pueda contestar
porque estoy cansada de pensar
como es que transcurren los segundos
y yo sobrevivo a este diluvio universal.
Sin más esfuerzo la explicación
aparece en un viejo cajón
y como en una sola fracción
vuelve a vivir y se viste de verde
el corazón.(CORO)

Vuelve, vuelve
vuelve, vuelve
que mi vida se desliza por un caño
que mis pies de estar
parados tienen callos
que no sé como decirte que
te extraño
y ya en éstas he pasado
más de un año.


Vuelve, vuelve
vuelve, vuelve
que mi barca se está
hundiendo en el lodo.
Que de angustia me he
mordido hasta los codos
que mi mundo está vacío y
aburrido,
que me muero por tenerte
aquí conmigo.

Título:Te espero sentada

Te espero sentada en
la esquina de siempre,
y más arreglada que
si fuera un viernes
sin ninguna cita hecha
previamente
pero con la plena
intuición de verte.

Mis ojos no paran
de mirar y mirar
el oscuro pedernal
de las ideas,
buscando más huecos
dentro de este hueco,
buscando una luz
en medio de este cielo.

Mi cielo, mi cielo,
pobre de mi cielo.

mis manos las guardo
porque tengo frío
y se sienten raras
dentro del bolsillo.
Ha pasado ya más
de hora y media
no has aparecido,
me falló mi instinto
pero es que mi instinto
no sabe de amores,
pero es que mi instinto
no sabe que ...
Vivir la vida sin tí
es algo como morir
es caminar sin mirar
es como cantar sin oír
es hablar sin respirar
es comer sin digerir
porque yo descubrí
que eres la forma perfecta
la medida exacta
justa para mí y es así ...

Título: Pies Descalzos, Sueños Blancos

Tú mordiste la manzana
y renunciaste al paraíso
y condenaste a una serpiente
siendo tú el que así lo quiso.

Por milenios y milenios
permaneciste desnudo
y te enfrentaste a dinosaurios
bajo un techo y sin escudo.

Y ahora estás aquí
queriendo ser feliz,
cuando no te importó
un pepino tu destino.

Perteneciste a una raza antigua
de pies descalzos
y de sueños blancos.
Fuiste polvo, polvo eres
piensa que el hierro
siempre al calor es blando.

Construiste un mundo exacto
de acabados tan perfectos
cada cosa calculada
en su espacio y a su tiempo.
Yo que soy un caos completo
las entradas, las salidas,
los nombres y las medidas
no me caben en los sesos.

Y ahora estás aquí
queriendo ser feliz
cuando no te importó
un pepino tu destino
perteneciste a una raza antigua
de pies descalzos
y de sueños blancos.
Fuiste polvo, polvo eres
piensa que el hierro
siempre al calor es blando.

Saludar al vecino
acostarse a una hora
trabajar cada día
para vivir en la vida
contestar sólo aquello
y sentir sólo esto
y que Dios nos ampare
de malos pensamientos.
Cumplir con las tareas,
asistir al colegio.
Que diría la familia
si eres un fracasado?.
Ponte siempre zapatos,
no hagas ruido en la mesa
usa medias veladas y
corbata en las fiestas.
Las mujeres se casan
siempre antes de treinta
si no vestirán santos
y aunque así no lo quieran
y la fiesta de quience
es mejor no olvidar
una fina champaña
y bailar bien el vals
y bailar bien el vals.

pienso un poco más en tí
despedazo mi corazón
se destruye algo en mí.

Cada vez que sale el sol
busco un algo de valor
para continuar así
y te veo así no te toque

y retumba en mis oídos
el tic-tac de los rejojes
y sigo pensando en tí
y sigo pensando...

Dónde estás corazón?
Ayer te busqué,
entre el suuelo y el cielo, mi cielo
y no te encontré
y puedo pensar que huyes de mí
porque mi silencio una corazonada
me dice que sí

Dónde estás corazón?
Ven regresa por mí
que la vida se me vuelve un ocho
si no estás aquí.
Y quiero pensar
que no tardarás
porque en el planeta no existe
mas nadie a quien pueda yo amar.

Dónde estás corazón?
Ayer te busqué
Dónde estás corazón?
Y no te encontré.

Dónde estás corazón?
Saliste de aquí.
buscando quien sabe
que cosas
tan lejos de mí
y puedo pensar
y vuelvo a pensar
que no tardarás.
Porque en el planeta
no existe más nadie
a quien yo pueda amar.

Dónde estás corazón?
Ayer te busqué.
Dónde estás corazón?.
Y no te encontré.
Te busqué
en el armario
en el abecedario
debajo del carro
en el negro
en el blanco
en los libros de historia
en las revistas
y en la radio.

Te busqué por las calles
en dónde tu madre
en cuadros de Botero
en mi monedero en dos mil
religiones te busqué hasta
en mis canciones.

Título: Se quiere ... se mata

Braulio tiene ojos grandes y cabellos oscuros,
nunca come en exceso y jamás duerme desnudo
siempre viste de gris, pues no tiene remedio
la tendencia a buscarse siempre el punto intermedio.

Dana es niña de bien (eso dicen sus padres)
nunca llega a su casa a más de diez ni muy tarde,
Braulio y Dana se quieren como cualquier pareja
pero un día fueron presa de la naturaleza
y de sus propios instintos,
no escaparon con suerte.
Con el fuego por dentro
y las hormonas presentes
por la ley del magneto
se acercaron los cuerpos.

Pero si a la hora del té
nada pasa,
solo te irás lejos de casa
por haber traído un habitante más
a ingresar a esta podrida ciudad
donde lo que no se quiere se mata.

Ese día llegaste un poco más de las diez
pero el susto se dió unas semanas después
cuando te confirmaron tus terribles sospechas
un niño nacería y ya sabías la fecha

y antes de que el vecino y la familia supieran
fuiste donde el doctor a acabar con el problema
hoy tu vecino está en casa dándose un buen duchazo
y tu dos metros bajo tierra viendo creser gusanos.

(CORO)
