Letras:


Holow Bodies.
(Ulalume/Robledo)

Hollow Bodies, Hollow dreams
All the same
And still remain.

Remembering images by unexplained circumstances
With a different atmosphere.

As you persuade that it all might be your creation
You socialize pretending inocence.

But even in the deepest solitude
A lightning is to tell,
You may be released, but not content.

In the agony of your lie
There is no room tor pity
Hold it this is your life.

He is so miserable from time to time
When your could stay enhaced with him
Beauty would come and surround you and devour you too.


If you dance.
(Ulalume/Gat/Álvarez)

What you have today
Tomorrow gone
Always naked alone
Need a crowd
To get through others
Just like you.

Call me a looser
I just won't play the game
Need no other but
Myself to blame
however I move.

I'll sing if you dance.

I can help you
Find a place
My words are music
for your ears
Wath better way
To spend time
Seize the moment
That just passed by

What you want
Is there to get
Never further
Than one more step
You never missed time
Slaming your feet
And now you are even
know the beat.


Breathless.
(Ulalume/Robledo)

This all Scented room/of you
This variation of reflected moods/on walls
Deeper is the breath and breathless is the word.

A profile ot a man versing his eyes/
Like liquid dice with full dependence.

You say this is the last
You don't lie; I don't ask
Giving purpose to the nearest
But not enough.

Researching in yourself
Involving pefums
Which are silence in your talk.

Those word games in good humor
Hold quite there intensity.


Sexy Bodies.
(Ulalume/Gat/Álvarez)

I spent my life making it rich
With bits and pieces of memories
Adding my lovers name on a list
Making a face from theif factures
l tried, I tried to live alone
But I couldn't do it
I needed someone.

My collection of sexy bodies shine
Like underglass butterflies
Each pinned down trough the heart
After spending a night with me.

But life savings won't save my life
It makes me loose my heart, loose my mind
I want to blow it all
I just can't make it on my own.


Lip to Lip.
(Ulalume/Álvarez)

Oriented such as/I feel breathless
For all i hold with reactions
Hitting the target of long evaporated kisses.

You try saving your life printed on carbon paper
Lip to lip, Right by right
Restless, my mind spreaded at sight
Reason my love is yours.

In the abscense ot our thoughts
An unfocused scence, to the point
The way to know the woman, now the man.

Do the sun set a quareter of an hour ago
Aurora!... Dear you just drop by
Get hold of my hand; it is full of me.


Switch on the lights.
(Ulalume/Gat/Robledo)

Switch on the lights ¡Open the door!
Open the window to look after you
Just to loose you
You keep waking away from my view.

This is the last I see of you
Here my part is forever ended
If you could just take a cab inside my building
End your journey in my apartament.

Here you wouldn't have to wear a coat
I'see you one more time naked
I want you to stay! I want you to love me!
But you need something new, you need to be at the other-
side of the world.

Chearishing your memories
Became my main ocupation
It overshadows the things that I like
And what I have to do for living.

You still standing if front of me
I have to look up to you, you ve got taller
But you still sleep with me with a smile on your face
Making me so happy, breathing on my shoulder.

If I would be hungry
Or freezing in the snow, or get slapped in the face
Maybe I could break out of this jail
Where your memories hold me.


Hommage.
(Ulalume)

I try to wake up
Precipitating my voice
Soon evicted.

I was laying immobile
in a perpetual dream
with a claiming mind.

Times held by own weight
Drawn away in short lapses
All the never expected-reunited-
My chest wide open-full of air

With a jittery voice; you say you love me
Making no effort to be understood.


Strangling me (with your love).
(Ulalume/Robledo/Schmidt)

You are strangling me with your love
In your hotel room of permanent disorder
I cry for help, for open air
You close the window
I pass out between your walls, in your arms.

I slept alone for many whole nights
But one more minute and I'll kill you
You look at me as if you had no eyes
But when you touch me I have no skin.

He made love to a photocopy
And left the room in perfect order
By leaning out the window
And traveling by ambulance.
