A brief history of some of the infamous men…

…of this town

When the night unveils its shroud

To display the nudity of the day

I’ll tell you all about

The most infamous man of this town

Made of dust, cobwebs, and invective stream

That’s how artificial his background is

You wouldn’t dare to look him in the eyes

As they’re the black holes of the beast

Sayin’ one thing and doin’ another

Even if you observe him vis-à-vis

Tête-à-tête he’s not so bright

Havin’ in the legs, not in the head

Switchin’ his sides

Sayin’ one thing one day

And the next day

The same thing has the adverse dimension

Not even worth to mention

To anyone

Forgettable in the haze of unpredictability

Of his thoughts

Yet here’s a piece of advice

Straight from my heart

Don’t you ever make him frown

As he’ll retaliate for that

With the strength of his sword

Cuttin’ you in half

Till blood take over your place

With you non-existent, he could live

Peacefully in his self-made isolation

Made out of other people’s frustrations

Enragin’ him a lot

So, he’ll benefit

From any Spaniard’s company

Helpin’ him to rigidly state his point

Between the first and the last joint
