lyrics

Got a message for you dear coming out and burning tongues
all the words contained within are the fire of my guns
see me out there in the street walking fast and working hard
harder task, I’m breathing deep so the break won’t make me harm
Ishtar says and Ishtar does, no more cuts in my heart’s budget
no more lies, the sour stench I am washing and I’ll get it
out of my latin demeanor, out of my soul’s sudden fires
I’m not calm and I don’t carry all your twisted moldy liars.

Abre essa porta pro caminho dela, abre essa porta!
Abre essa porta pro caminho dela

Wanna a piece of the big pie, may forget the upper crust
the more stairs you climb the bigger is the bag filled with your blood
Forced to parade old disguises, neocolonial attires
but my breasts, wild as fires
mountain peaks, tall and full
curls of rage never tamed
through the core strength of my skull
My tongue may be tied but my sound is never dull.

Put the scaffolding around your face up and to your crown
ask the painters that old beige and the greish of this town
that’s the base you shall apply, trust me, that will take you high
then like mannequin remade, plump the red and shadow laid
in your eyes the shadow stays, in your eyes the light fades.

through the core strength of my skull
My tongue may be tied but my sound is never dull

That’s the way you’ll get around, buy no books, win the crowd
what you say and how you look, everything just by the book
and you’ll get the benefit of eating your boss’s shit.
And you’re preserving the look, taxidermy of the self
time keeps ticking, and the mask, portrait of Dorian Grey
will claim you in the end, and “carry on” is what they’ll say.
