El amor es algo extraño
Algo intimo, algo pesado
Que pensaran cuando salgas
Que dirá tu madre, la Señora Vargas
Niña de casa noble no sale
Se le enseña la matemática y lo que vale
Pero la tentación es fuerte y nos agarra
Nos quita la lógica y nos desamarra
Tú! la mujer mas bella, pero la muda
Parada allí con cara calma y desnuda
Dios, que emoción tengo adentro
Esta niña es mi vida, mi mar, mi centro
Este par de amantes, apassionados y hermosos
Sentados en la cama, abrazados y dichosos
Y contra los prejuicios los amantes son exentos
Invincibles de todos los malos intentos
Pero al fin del viaje somos tu y yo
Mas eternos que la primavera, agarrados por la mano
Que nublina tan fuerte, que pésimo día
Nadie me encuentra chistoso aunque me ría
Que se sienten los niños, los que dicen aquí
Y me rio en las caras de los intelectuales que dicen que si!
Las caras de santos y los muros centeniales
Se van amarrando en asuntos indecentes en los arrabales
Que es el amor solo dolor y pasión
Que es mi amor salvo una solemna canción
Esa dos balas son mi alma taciturna
Caminando el campo como una ave nocturna
Que dirán mis amigos, los viejos del llano
Que diría Dios cundo vea el dolor de tu mano
Enciende el carro, deprisa, allí viene tu madre
Y a su lado con una cara de perro viene tu padre
Los viejos no entienden la virtud de la estética
Ni pueden entender la lógica de lo erótico
Unos pasos salen de la oscuridad

For Robert, With Love
When your family has you locked away
And your friends have you ready made
And you protest, but they do not say
Won't you come away with me, Queen Jade?
Won't you come away with me, Queen Jade?
When your young age holds you back
And you feel like you're about to fade
And you're ready to arm yourself and attack
Won't you come away with me, Queen Jade?
Won't you come away with me, Queen Jade?
When you're craving some banana pancakes
And are looking for some comfort and shade
And you just want to snuggle and lay awake
Won't you come away with me, Queen Jade?
Won't you come away with me, Queen Jade?
And when you grow bored of the same routine
And you want to run away but are too afraid
And when they've left you at the scene
Won't you come away with me, Queen Jade?
Won't you come away with me, Queen Jade?
If you want little Spanish and television
And someone to sing you a serenade
And someone to love you with precision
Won't you come away with me, Queen Jade?
Won't you come away with me, Queen Jade?
And your friends have you ready made
And you protest, but they do not say
Won't you come away with me, Queen Jade?
Won't you come away with me, Queen Jade?
When your young age holds you back
And you feel like you're about to fade
And you're ready to arm yourself and attack
Won't you come away with me, Queen Jade?
Won't you come away with me, Queen Jade?
When you're craving some banana pancakes
And are looking for some comfort and shade
And you just want to snuggle and lay awake
Won't you come away with me, Queen Jade?
Won't you come away with me, Queen Jade?
And when you grow bored of the same routine
And you want to run away but are too afraid
And when they've left you at the scene
Won't you come away with me, Queen Jade?
Won't you come away with me, Queen Jade?
If you want little Spanish and television
And someone to sing you a serenade
And someone to love you with precision
Won't you come away with me, Queen Jade?
Won't you come away with me, Queen Jade?
Nymph
I was walking down the street
When I saw this pretty little thing
She gave me a look like I couldn't refuse
"Hey, man, it looks like you got some blues
Why don't you come and have a little fling?"
I smiled at her and hopped right to my feet
I followed her down to her little flat
It was a quaint little space with style
She said in a little voice "Have something to drink!"
And before I could grab it or even before I could think
This little cat jumped on me and kissed me for a while
I swear I ain't never had a girl like that
I went ahead and undressed myself and her
She had tiny little body but she was still a goddess
We hopped into her bed and had a little fun
We had nothing but each other untill we saw the sun
She asked me how it was and I said "mightve been the best"
She got out of bed brushed her teeth and put up her hair
This pretty girl made a cup of Joe and then kicked me out
I swear she was a little nymph, the best I've had
And it was quite a funny thing, cos I never saw her again
She had dissappeared like water right down the drain
She was stuck in my mind, this little girl drove me mad
Oh, that night was the wildest I had, without a doubt

Hide
Dress up in tight little spandex
Cake your face away with make up
Shaped up into a nervous mess
You get excited when the boys they shake up
Empty minds have only one place in life
You say you wanna make a difference
But I bet you'll make the perfect trophy wife
How can you change us with no common sense?
Insecurities and dosilities
Hide away from your peers
Defects hurt sensibilities
Insults are too much for your ears
Plastic faces are scared by their reflections
And the men can buy fake erections
Your bank statement reflects your happiness
Your life is filled by melodramatic sappiness
You can't take a single seriously
It's just too much for your brain to take
And you argue quote spuriously
But all the people know you're fake
Insecurities and dosilities
Hide away from your peers
Defects hurt sensibilities
Insults are too much for your ears
Insecurities and dosilities
Hide away from your peers
Defects hurt sensibilities
Insults are too much for your ears
Insecurities and dosilities
Hide away from your peers
Defects hurt sensibilities
Insults are too much for your ears
Na na na na na na na
Cake your face away with make up
Shaped up into a nervous mess
You get excited when the boys they shake up
Empty minds have only one place in life
You say you wanna make a difference
But I bet you'll make the perfect trophy wife
How can you change us with no common sense?
Insecurities and dosilities

Na na na na na na na
Come
He was the essence of depravity
With an attitude like "Why care?"
She was the flagship of purity
But she asked "Who's that boy there?"
She asked around to see who he was
"That motherfuckers going to hell,
All he care for is drugs and ass"
But he was something different, she could tell
She approached him looking like a goddess
Brown locks of hair flowing 'round her face
"I never seen a girl who act so modest
When she's the prettiest girl in this place!"
She smiled a little at his sweet words
And then she introduced herself politely
He said "I'm the devil, king of lords
And my trade shouldn't be taken lightly"
Fear in her eyes, she couldn't help but shiver a bit
At the cleverness of the boy's reponse
She said "It seems, my friend, you have quick wit
Want some company? You're a man of Renaissance"
"How could I say no to a girl like you?
Of course you can come with me
But I warn you, that the things I do
May not be in agreement with thee."
So she went into his arms and they fell in love
A marvelous affair that burned like the sun
She was free to come and go like the dove
He was still a hedonist, she learned to have fun
She married the boy but he didn't stay long
He said he'd return some fateful day in May
He looket at her, said I love you and went along
Through the wild country he made his way
The devil himself was caught in purgatory
Through the darkest cities he walked
He steered himself away from authority
Only with the immoral folk he talked
He found her in the same creek
She was there naked sitting like Aphrodite
Her eyes flashed and he heard her speak
"Could it be that my love has returned to me?"
Five years had passed when he returned to her
She said "You look different and strange!
Did you find what you sought there?"
He said "No, I only found change."
She said "Are you here to stay, are you here for good?"
He said "Well, of course, from what's understood"
So the two mystical beings they lived with eachother
The boy destined to love his muse forever
With an attitude like "Why care?"
She was the flagship of purity
But she asked "Who's that boy there?"
She asked around to see who he was
"That motherfuckers going to hell,

For David, With Love
Fashion glamour in spacious ways
Caviar, vodka, sex, girls, disdain
Paris, France and Europe strays
He's back! It's Aladdin Sane!
Money money and guitars
Tiny things just so vain
Picked up in strangers cars
He's back! It's Aladdin Sane!
Furious passionate little things
Hooked up hooked down booked on cocaine
Taken with all the fun it brings
He's back! It's Aladdin Sane!
All dreams come to us alone
Fresh with the morning rain
Our lives will never be done
He's back! It's Aladdin Sane!
Gambling and saké in Monaco
Bright lights flood the window pane
Forget all that you know!
He's back! It's Aladdin Sane!

The wings of the sparrow beat upon the wind and the rustling of the leaves invades my mind. Kaleidoscope skies pierce the atmosphere and the sweet moon shines her face upon the black trees of the desolate scape. The house stands bravely upon the silent blue hill and its inhabitants go about their mundane insane plain routines. Send our regards to our queen for she has committed the most hideous obtuse diverse inverse perverse fantastic of crimes: she has shattered that organ most holy of holy, the organ of life which flows through my soul, the beating eating fleeting feeling heart which filled me with love with lust; this despair fills me stills me kills me.
Repress the urge to have her, desire controls me, overpowers me enrages me; I feel obessive aggressive impressive possesive, compulsive, like Master Paul on his rocking horse. I will have you will bury you, you will be mine. I will burn the house down and rise with the wisps of the burning blaze; rise and rise above and beyond to the realm of gods, sweet and unfliching, morose and sardonic. Halloween, Hallows eve, are you happy? Are you content? Sadness madness deranges my mind, scrambles my thought; why don't you love me? Contempt contempt contempt for this anger, for this sanctimonious feeling of nostalgia, the impetuous derisive feeling that I contain within me. I will go nowhere and somewhere, everyplace and no place, among the gaseous giants that fill those unwavering eyes and the swirling twirling curling clouds of dust and elements that saturate your incessanly dark, vacous pupils. I will find you; sick upon the rug, surrounded by fantastic lights, multicolored lights, bright as the night, piercing my eyes, covering the heavens, all through the sky. Minerva Minerva, talk to your son, help him through the ordeal and make him a deal, a deal to be played, a mind to be slayed: kiss the moonlight, smooth and clear as the day. Come to me come to me come to me, I will have you, I must have you. I'm in the edge of the despair, the threshold of dimensions; universes compressed into neurons, connections among stars, wormholes through the grey matter of my endless world, mine alone, not be shared, broken, misspoken or appraised. Books and books flying in my mind, useless information, weak foundations, misinterpretations; Honey honey, can you hear me, fear me, spear me, love me, hate me, see me now? Float adrift in this sea of time, clocks ticking, flicking, licking my life away; burn the clock tower, hang the pendulum, let gravity take over, let it waste you away into blackness, darkness eternal and surreal, never to be understood or comprehended, excsessive in all dimensions.
Look at the faces on the wall, screaming down the hall, spurrious furious, dubious pronouns, unfinished verbs, words, morphemes, phonemes loud and unsure; hypothetical prepositions, inquisitions, superstitions, combinations. Have the weekend, take the paycheck, spend it, rend it, mend it, observe them, the blank people, shuffling about, bustling about, marching like ants. Isn't it nice to be alive? Isn't is nice to thrive, survive, surmise, to be creative, to be alone, to be strong, to be weak, to be a freak, to be a nerd to be a jock to be a geek to be a whore? To live to love to lie to die in this floating chunk of rock, flying, hurtling, bustling, away through space in this mad race that rages on each day around the sun?
