| The wind will fall on the smoky snow,
|
| And a look will turn water into fire.
|
| Where do we seep
|
| Into the funnels of the capitals
|
| And scatter tired hands
|
| On the black featherbeds of the nights.
|
| But what can we understand?
|
| But what can we say
|
| About cities, about cities,
|
| Where asphalt smokes after the rain?
|
| Closing your eyes and locking it,
|
| Having shrunk a unit of space into a segment,
|
| Empty abysses of mouths
|
| That smell like a grave
|
| Behind the false fence
|
| Acropolis of our fathers.
|
| But what can we understand?
|
| But what can we say
|
| About cities, about cities,
|
| Where asphalt smokes after the rain?
|
| I was seen yesterday dancing the step
|
| On a hot needle.
|
| I was stabbed to death in a raid in the Borneo region
|
| In a drunken fight on a ship.
|
| I am the person who received
|
| A healthy bowl from the hands of the executioner.
|
| I released an electric current
|
| With one turn of a steel key
|
| To the cities
|
| Where asphalt smokes after the rain.
|
| Where is the look, like an order
|
| To start moving.
|
| And the razor is a symbol of faith.
|
| And the starting point of the universe is
|
| Just paper and a formula of letters.
|
| I met an old man yesterday -
|
| He knew how to swallow fire.
|
| He knew how to predict fate.
|
| But he didn't know anything
|
| But he didn't know anything
|
| About cities, about cities, about cities,
|
| Where asphalt smokes after the rain. |
