Entre por essa porta agora
E diga que me adora
Você tem meia hora
Pra mudar minha vida
Vem vambora
Que o que você demora
É o que o tempo leva

You are a china shop
and I am a bull
you are really good food
and I am full
I guess everything is timing
I guess everything's been said
so I am coming home with an empty head (...)
you'll say it's really good to see you
you'll say I missed you horribly
you'll say let me carry that
give that to me
and you will take the heavy stuff
and you will drive the car
and I'll look out the window making jokes
about the way things are

Eu desço dessa solidão
Espalho coisas sobre
Um Chão de Giz
Há meros devaneios tolos
A me torturar

São só palavras: teço, ensaio e cena
A cada ato enceno a diferença
Do que é amor ficou o seu retrato
A peça que interpreto
Um improviso insensato
Essa saudade eu sei de cor
Sei o caminho dos barcos
E há muito estou alheio a quem me entende
Recebe o resto exato e tão pequeno
E dor, se há - Tentava, já não tento

It's the kind of night that's so cold, when you spit
It freezes before it hits the ground
And when a bum asks you for a quarter, you give a dollar
If he's out tonight he must be truly down
And I'm searching all the windows for a last minute present
To prove to you that what I said was real,
For something small and frail and plastic, baby,
'cause cheap is how I feel Half moon in the sky tonight, bright enough
To come up with an answer
To the question why is it that every time I see you
My love grows a little stronger
But your memory leaves my stomach churning,
Feeling like a lie about to be revealed,
But I'll horde all this to myself
'cause cheap is how I feel

All that I know to be true
Is the touch of your hand on my skin.
One look from you can so easily soothe
All this turmoil within As we dance cheek to cheek
With our feet so completely
Locked in a time all our own.
I stop to speak
But you gently keep me
Moving in time to the song.
And in a voice that is sloppy with gin
You say, "let the world spin."

The silence of a falling star
Lights up a purple haze
And as I wonder where you are
I'm so lonesome I could cry

Escape is so simple
In a world where sunsets can be raced
But distance only looses the knife
The pattern of its scar
Can always be traced

Electric shocks?
I love them!
With you --> dozen a day
But after a while I wonder
Where's that love you promised me?
Where is it?
Possibly maybe probably love, possibly
Possibly maybe probably love, possibly
How can you offer me love like that?
My heart's burned

It's a hot day
and I'm dressed lightly
I move carefully
through the crowd here everyone
is so vulnerable
and I'm as well there's no-one here - and people everywhere CRYING : 'cause I need you
CRYING : I can feel you
CRYING : 'cause I need you
CRYING : 'cause I care
