South American Dream

MP3

There's red wine on the wall
The dinner's on the floor
There were no parties here
There were no tears, but from afar a call

They're dancing on the chairs
Though every closet's bare
You are inside their jaws
Across the floor they drag you by the hand

My legs are just like tombs but my head is feeling fine
With a swig of caipirinha to get me through the night

My South American dream, a South American dream
A South American dream, what happened to the dream?
I don't remember why, oh why don't you remind me?
And set me free from the land of liberty

We are the obscure
We give our lives unto the cause
Blessed are the poor
We curse the laws, away to distant shores

I hear your every breath
When was it we last slept?
You like the taste of flesh
¿Qué hora es? We'll be each other's death

There's madness in your eyes and there's fire in your tongue
Hush now baby, take your time; the evening is yet young

Mi sueño Sudamericano, un sueño Sudamericano
Un sueño Sudamericano. ¿Que passo con el sueño?
No me a cuerdo. ¿Porque no me recuerdas?
Y liberame desde la tierra de la libertad

We await you in the car
There's water in the flask
So did you come alone?
Of course we know, but that is why we asked

Guilty every time you hear the unborn child cry
A pick up for the rhythm drug until the dawn arrives

My South American dream, a South American dream
A South American dream, what happened to the dream?
I don't remember why, oh why don't you remind me?
And set me free from the land of liberty
