Like so many times, in the small hours, inside a car.
in a street with no light, a street with no name,
face to face they look at each other slowly,
after tending to love and its work.
They wipe their sweat, they wipe their sweat,
just like they learnt, they forgot.
He thinks "nothing is like it used to be,
life must be somewhere else",
where he can't see it because she blinds him
with gold jails, with love without respite.
They won't ever again, they won't ever again,
they won't ever again do anything for the first time.
We will tie flocks of sparrows to our wrists,
we will escape far away from here, to another planet.
Take me far away from you,
you hold a ghost inside.
He gives her a hand full of lies,
the body he touches doesn't seem so beautiful anymore.
Yesterday her pupils were a solar eclipse,
today they are black ponds full of evil.
How sad, how sad,
how sad, everything has to end.
She no longer loves his defects, searches for him in his eyes,
it's as quiet as the grave.
Yesterday his arms were strong branches
in which to find shelter, today they're ropes that bind.
How sad, how sad,
how sad, everything has to finish.
We will tie flocks of sparrows to our wrists,
we will escape far away from here, to another planet.
Take me far away from you,
you hold a ghost inside.
He finally decides to vomit his ideas,
she knows it and calmly awaits for it.
The prisioner is actively planning his escape,
she doesn't look at him, she can't stand his breath.
The end has come, and they're going to find
desert sand in their hearts.
Nervously he gets very serious,
panic strikes and he's invaded by fear.
His cowardly mouth pronounces: "I love you.
Don't ever leave, don't ever go away".
And she starts to tremble, she starts to tremble,
she starts to tremble: "I love you too".
We will tie flocks of sparrows to our wrists,
we will escape far away from here, to another planet.
Take me far away from you,
you hold a ghost inside.
