And since you ask me I'll tell you
I know what it is to have
fourteen years and be dead,
Sea Wolf
anchored in the city,
tired of forgetting
a woman in each port.
Impetuous animal without pedigree,
addicted to elixir
from the heart of the bottles,
misogynist apprentice of seducer
who sings rock and roll
to demand from the stars:
eyes that learn to look,
lips that burn,
wise men who teach to kiss,
delirium tremens.
Children of need,
rain of semen,
mistreat me for charity,
delirium tremens.
And since you insist, let me add
I know what it is to sleep
naked, in gray and handcuffed,
out in the open
nailed to a cross
with a thief on each side,
traveling from never to what I know,
as an Indiana Jones
through the suburbs of the moon,
concierge of the Tower of Babel
brothel rapporteur
who seeks in all and in no
eyes that learn to look,
lips that burn,
wise men who teach to kiss,
delirium tremens.
Mistreat me for charity,
rain of semen,
In what other arms will you find
delirum tremens?
Cobwebs on clothes,
tigers on the balcony,
scorpions in the mouth
fear in the heart.
aldito you are, Satan,
take off your mask,
in that mirror we do not fit
both.
eyes that learn to look,
lips that burn,
children of need
delirium tremens.
Sages who teach to kiss,
rain of semen,
In what other arms will you find
delirium tremens?
Delirium tremens.
I already know all the stories,
I rejected the sacraments,
I reneged on Old Bob.
I wandered through hundreds of cities,
they know me in the bars,
but they do not know who I am.
There is a palace in hell
built on fire
where the king reigns
of those who fear.
Rolling a child
by the stairs
of delirium tremens.
A two tremens
Delirium tremens.
Only among all we can make this a better place :)
