Everybody Loves Me
Lone Ranger In The Rain
words & music: Polar Levine
vocal and guitar: Swami Rivers

Rough demo
----------------------------------------------
Lone Ranger in the rain searching for a virgin vein
Long Dong Novocaine
Is nodding through the hurricane
More money, more honey
More honkin', more tonkin'
Still bangin' that good-guy theme
But it just ain't like the good ol' team

No more Tonto to boss around
No one to clean the camping ground
No one to hold when the night is long
Kemosabe no more strong
Coyotes howl, bad guys prowl
Feed the horse, stay the course
The lonesome sun is going down
Just can't trust no injun clown

Chorus:
  Oh Tonto, you were his boy
  You left the masked man so lonely without his toy
  You never had his taste for the law
  And helping the paleface rape the squaw
  So move on, move on, Native Son
  Go on - you be the Righteous One
  Do it, do it.
  Do it, do it - be The One
  Do it. Yeah, you be The One
  Go on - be The One

Ain't no more cowboy scene
A mask is just for Halloween
Lone Ranger in the rain
A silver bullet to ease the pain

Roll the credits, roll and splice
Roll them suckers, roll the dice
Tonto now deals the jack and spade
Believes he's no more being played

Chorus

Intro: Somebody's got a message
           Someone's got a message
           Somebody's got a message for you

There's a very handsome man
He got something to say to you
There's a very pretty girl
She got something to say to you
They got better things for you
They got better things for you
They got better things for you
More than your friends can do
They got better things for you
More than your friends can do
They got better things for you
Improved and brand new

Chorus:
  So lay back my baby
  Lay back my baby  Lay back my baby
  There's nothing for you to do
  So lay back my baby
  Lay back my baby  Lay back my baby
  Not a thing for you to do
  And they know everything you do
  'Cause they're prettier than you
  And everything they say is true
  'Cause they're prettier than you

Turn on the TV  Turn on the TV
Turn on the TV  Baby don't mind me
Jump back in the kitchen
Jump back in the kitchen
Jump back in the kitchen
Got three minutes  Stop twitchin'
Jump back in the kitchen   Open up a can
Jump back in the kitchen   Chicken sal san

Chorus

There's money to make over here
There's money to save over there
Jesus and MTV and women in their underwear
Got everything for you  Just sit in the blue light
Nobody's got to know  Go ahead take a bite
Nobody's got to know  Nobody's got to pay
So lay back my baby
The message is on the way

Chorus
Peaches In The Rain
words & music: Polar Levine

vocals & instruments: Polarity/1

----------------------------------------------------
Got a hatful of head  and I’m in my feet  
Like a  pogo stick in a slomo beat
Rocky wheels on a shiny road  
Mambo surfin’ a billy  mode
Sumo glidin’ in my laser suit    
Sucking  the  juice of a ganja root    
Got a hatful of head and feeling real cute

Got a hatful of head and a song to fling    
Throat full of note and that funky  bring
Kick drum droppin’ a bucket of sharks      
Loops on the lam from copyright narcs
Got a djembe head in a fractal spin        
A noseful of prose and a yang-ful of  yin        
Four AM  and it's still flyin’ in    

Chorus: Let the love come down          
              The love come down          
               Let the love come down          
                Like peaches in the rain

B:  Tweezer the meter  Goin’ Boom Bang    
      Crackle the tweeter goin’ Boom Bang
      Noise get sweeter Goin’ Boom Bang
    Makin’ the love come down

All these tap dancing preachers and juggling nurses
Lobbying for lines in  my verses
Hogging my flow with their agitation  
They don’t know they’re just my imagination
Dining car on the Coltrane,  
Eatin’ chile con carnal and a twangy eel
I’m makin’ it up but keepin’ it real
Chorus

Swing That Kaddish

Rubio: Piano, organ, synth theremin
produced by Polarity/1
-------------------------------------------------
Piss out a window, late afternoon
Jailbirds high over sleepy lagoon
Cigar in my coffee and my little tin spoon
Oh oh oh goin' down
Paperclip tieclasp, rusty but firm
Loose-fitting jockeyshorts yellow with sperm
Take-out chop suey goes down like a worm
Oh oh oh goin' down

Chorus:
  Oh Mama, Mommy let me come home
  I won't steal your jewelry no more
  Take me home
  My deal's goin' down;it ain't goin' slow
  Swing that Kaddish, baby
  Sweet and low

Slow gin canasta in a smokey room
Some good ol' Jewboys -prophets of doom
Sophie on the carpet circumcising the groom
Oh oh oh goin' down
Little Joe Donsky with the broadloom crown
Sleeps with the fishes in a concrete gown
I'm waitin' for some cash from the Fat Man uptown
Oh oh oh goin' down

Chorus

You got Frankie and Dorsey -
The great hits from the past
Tito Rodriguez and Bird playin' fast
That damn rock n roll, it'll never last
Oh oh oh goin' down  

Chorus
Spaceman
words & music: Polar Levine

vocals: Amy Douglas
keyboards, guitar, track : Polarity/1
digital theremin, bass: Rubio
produced by Polarity/1
---------------------------------------------
It's hard out there for a spaceman
Gotta walk a scary mile
A stranger in a real strange land,uit so out of style
Lookin' dumb like a gumball,rying to hide his wings
And that smelly gooey head with shiny neon strings
Looking like a Sad Sack alone on the tarmac

Pre-Chorus:
   Spaceman come when nobody know
   Greasy gams and a gamma glow
   Fat eyes buggin' and a freaky flow
   Tendrils twangin' with a mighty mo
   Looking for a planet with a peaceful town
   Family soon be flying down

Chorus:
   No reason to grab the gat, man
   He's just trying to find his place, man
   Turn up the drum & bass, man
   No disgrace to be a spaceman
   Don't be hatin' on the spaceman

It's hard out there for a spaceman
Nobody will believe
Just wants to be a citizen, maybe he's naive
Let him put his fangs on a sandwich
He’s trying to fit in with his spikey eyes and liquid skin
An unknown species, so let’s not make him angry

Pre-Chorus
Chorus



We Believe
words & music: Polar Levine

vocals and instruments: Polarity/1
produced by Polarity/1
---------------------------------------------
We are tremendous, the top of the heap  
Lobbying the gods when they're trying to sleep                        
Codifying every shade of our blues    
Pinning all the blame on the you-know-whos  
We’re on a  holy  mission: get laid and paid  
And be righteous too    
That’s how we’re made  

Chorus:  ‘Cause we believe    Yeah   We believe  
               I believe we got a pile of stress to relieve
               So we believe   Uh huh  We believe    
               We all believe we’re puffin’ on a bona fide peeve  
               Tallying  our deficits in disappearing ink  
               Everyone believes their shit don't stink  

My tribe is the best   And my country, my  hood  
Now some won't agree but I believe they should  
They won't see the light  Got some goddamn gumption
They're out there eatin’ children or somethin'
I  wanna reach out, help em understand  
Troll em to the runway where I think they should land

Chorus:  ‘Cause we believe   Yeah, we believe    
               I do believe we got some stress to relieve  
               So we believe   Uh  huh   We believe  
               Our senses should be telling us we’ve taken leave                                                                                                                      
               Our cuteness and the universe are all in synch  
               Every one believes their shit don't stink  

Politics is complex   So let’s make it a game  
Pundits with updates on which group to blame  
Inconvenience is tyranny  Call  in the musketeers  
And a psycho demagogue to surf our fears  
We’re migrants in a land of customized truth  
Where we’re great again or woke in eternal youth

Chorus: ‘Cause we believe  Yeah, we believe    
               We got a crazy mess of stress to relieve  <
               So we believe   Uh huh  
               We believe that what we want is all there is to perceive  
               God    is up there laughin' with a devilish wink    
               Watchin’ us believe that our shit don't stink




Hot And Dry
words & music: Polar Levine

vocal & instruments: Swami Rivers

Rough demo
-----------------------------------------------
There's desire in your eye and combat in your high
Let's call it greed. Let's call it off
There's something else you need
I'm not in this for the therapy
I'm not paying for your fantasy
I'm not your private piece of the rock

Chorus:
  You mistake me for the rain
  'Cause you're hot and dry
  I'm not the rain
  I'm no't what you need
  Love's not here to make us bleed
  When you know who you are
  When you know what to call your pain
  You'll see me around
  And we'll stare down the eye of your hurricane
  But till then... stop calling me

There's a knot to be untied when the spirit is denied
So let's set it free. Let's let it go
It's best to say goodbye
I don't want a love that's out of key
Lots of rhythm but no harmony
The kind that comes with a chain and lock

Chorus

----------------------------------------------------
Ty-d-bowl, microchips, Crazy Glue
My baby's lips
Seranwrap and the Longines Symphonette
All this good stuff in the free world you can get
But it ain't enough  It ain't enough
Can't get enough
Looks like you need a buff. You need a buff
Looks like the man needs to buff his stuff

Chorus:
  Step back! Take a look at yourself
  Look up in the air  Look into your heart
  Look at your shoeshine
  Look at your shoeshine
  Can you see yourself in your shoeshine?

Pay good money
For the suede patches on the elbows of your suit
A smart man Got tenure, God knows
All the liberal and conservative superstitions
Got all the answers and the positions
Cerebral bumps and grinds
Cold analyze the headlines
But the man in the cardboard boudoir wants to know
Can you slurp your degree on the soupline?

Chorus

Flip that channel ZING!  Cold rush to the brain
The funny guy on the news is predicting pain
Doing the dirty deed by the light of the TV set
Everybody wants that sweet thang
Everybody wants to forget
Are we looking young? Are we well hung?
Tell me, are we buffed?
Do you think we've shopped enough?
Are we fast-tracked, laugh-tracked?
faxed, waxed, Compact?
Are we infotained?
Do we need that clown with the map to tell us
To come in out of the rain? I say -

Salesman
words & music: Polar Levine

Scott Allen: BKG vocals

produced by Polarity/1
---------------------------------------------
He's just a salesman with a cheap toup on.
Just a salesman with a cheap toup on
He cry and holler and sing a song
And when it's over, grandma's dough is gone
He got a wife, painted and sprayed
Got a wife, painted and sprayed
She holds his bible, she's gettin' paid
She turned her lemon into lemonade
His fingers are hairy but his nails are clean.
Fingers are hairy but his nails are clean
See how they wiggle on the tv screen
Play like a fiddle on a girl of fifteen

Chorus:
   
Just a salesman with a cheap toup on
   Salesman with a cheap toup on
   Just a salesman with a cheap toup on
   He cries and hollers and sings a song

Sends you a prayer cloth - if you pay
A free prayer cloth - if you pay
He prays for a hot tub, a Rolls and a lay
He's sellin' heaven the very next day
Wishes his wife and his children were gone.
Picked up his girlfriend at the beauty salon
Took her to Vegas like a high class John.
He's just a salesman with a cheap toup on

Chorus

He killed a homo in a bar last night
Did it for Jesus and he thought it's all right
He's not afraid 'cause he's a man and he's white
But watch him sweat at a flashing strobe light
His wife is lonely - her name is Lenore
She ain't had none since '94
Startin' to wonder if she's lost her allure
Today she heard about his cute little whore
She bought a gun from a junkie named Juan.
Went to the chapel - everybody was gone
The barrel is firm  Her dress is chiffon.
In walks her salesman with his cheap toup on

Chorus
The Blood
words & music: Polar Levine

P/1: lead & bkg vocals, track
Scott Allen: BKG vocals
produced by Polarity/1
-----------------------------------------------
It is known that we have been abused
But now you think the world
Is owing you some kind of dues
Now you lie, but you told me you were fair
There's vengeance in your smile
And your love has just grown weak and bare
Now I no longer feel that we're bound
But when I sleep you call to me, Israel
When I sleep you call to me, Israel

Through the years we were the chosen few
Who were given the message
Look what hatred can do
Now your armies are chewing up the land
Disowning your own brothers
While your valley is turning back to sand
The dove won't fly
Your arrogance has chained it to the ground
But when I sleep you call to me, Israel
When I sleep you call to me, Israel

Chorus:
  You cut through my veins
  You're in my bone
  You're in my blood
  But you'll never be my home
  You cut through my veins
  You're in my bone
  You're in my blood
  And you won't leave me alone

You cut through my veins. You're in my bone
You're in my blood. But you'll never disown me
You can't disown me
You shed your blood
You're shedding the blood
And I know you're not alone

---------------------------------------------
Allison ponders a man named Mose
He's up on a mountain with his bush a-burnin'
Was he sucking on Yvonne's toes?
While girl sits home all toss and turnin'
Cold compress and a dose of religion
A yen to confess what's in her bones
Shopping for shoes in lieu of livin'
Then bolt the door and get on with jones
Stairwell dank in the cold of summer
Love is hard.  No love's a bummer
I know

Chorus: Love is hard   Lovelorn   
               Love is hard   Shopworn               
               Got to slow down Got to slow down
               Slow down to get born

Moses suits up, shoots up the fast lane
Swims upstream in digital pool
Knocking down pussy like lines of cocaine
A gut full of gimme and a mouth full of drool
Sweet sixteen in the neighbor's yard

Someone else's buns in the oven
Mo is whackin' the doggie hard
Twenty times two but no real lovin'
Love is hard where the fun is easy
Heart gets tired while the nose gets greasy
I know

Chorus
Daddy Was An Asshole
words & music: Polar Levine
vocal & instruments: Swami Rivers

Rough demo
------------------------------------------------
Daddy was an asshole, an asshole to his core
Made me laugh on his good days
But an asshole evermore

It was George Jones, James Brown
Coltrane, Celia Cruz
Rock and rap and ragas, flamenco, reggae, blues
What kind of horn did Bird play?
Who wrote the Blue Suede Shoes?
Daddy was an asshole. There are no undos

Chorus:
  Daddy was an asshole. Today he is the same
  Had music in his belly and pictures in his brain
  He made me practice every day
  Each day I'd hate him more
  Made me laugh on his good days
  But an asshole evermore

Picasso and the cubists and Salvador Dali
Dada and abstraction and anthropology
Metaphors and dinosaurs, philosophers and funk
Daddy was an asshole and I hate all his junk

Then I had my own son. I swore I'd do it right
Gave him video games and candy bars
Cartoons and Bud Lite
I taught him how to monster burp
Steal bicycles and fight
Now he's reading fuckin Menken
And bangin' drums all night

My kid, he's an asshole, and I'm an asshole's son
Three green peas in a green pea soup
I'm the only normal one
I pimp roll in Armani and subprime is my trade
Daddy was an asshole, but me - I'm gettin' paid

Chorus
A Dog Named Lou
words & music: Polar Levine
vocal & guitar: Swami Rivers

Rough demo
----------------------------------------------
Two times two
A dog named Lou
A smack across the chin
A needle, thread and pin

I'm talking to my mother
She's talking to her little brother
He was sixty when he died a few years ago
The numbers on her meter are all aglow
She's technically alive. Two times two is five

A wagon full of fruit.
Laughing in her bathing suit
She can't get up or walk to the bathroom
Now she's screaming,
"I lived a life, now I'm ready to go, please let me go
Those bastards say No. Where's Lou?
Who the hell are you?"

The dog named Lou
The kangaroo
The dolphins jump and dive
The bees in their hive
They don't waste a minute pondering
Who put them there, they're just being alive

They don't need tales about eternity
Or comforting mythology
They don't impose sanctity
To force her heart to pump until it's
Too late... too late
To hold us in her arms and say goodbye
A room full of strangers -
we watch her crumble and die
One More Rain
words and music: Polar Levine

vocal & guitar: Swami Rivers

Rough demo
---------------------------------------
I was born in the winter on a chilly day
Eighty degrees and going down
The sun was laughin' as it dropped away
Behind the Statue of Liberty's crown

The New York Yankees were a baseball team
From my home town so long ago
Before they left to go way up north
Where sometimes in winter they still get snow

Chorus:
  One more rain... One more rain...
  One more day of rain...
  You can see out the window all you need to know
  The water's rising, it's time to go

Mama reached New York at a real young age
From a place called San Antonio
Grabbed her dolly while the water's rage
Busted the gates of the Alamo

So many left and moved up here
Broke and muddy, without a home
An empty old ruin is where they'd stay
Till old Yankee Stadium got washed away

Chorus

Way far back, a scared little boy
Crossed the ocean on a mighty ship
A giant green lady said, "Now you're home"
Pointed to Manhattan with her fingertip

I read all about the old Broadway
People used to walk there, right on the ground
Now that giant lady the little boy saw
Is standing in the water up to her jaw

Chorus

My grandma told it a hundred times
They warned for years 'bout the coming change
Politicians did nothing while it all got worse
Puppies on the leash of the corporate purse

Chorus:
  One more rain... One more rain...
  One more day of rain...
  You can see out the window all you need to know
  The water is rising, it's time to go
  One more rain... One more rain...
  One more day of rain...
  You can see out the window all you need to know
  Take a last look around, it's time to go

I was born in the winter on a chilly day
Eighty degrees and going down
Never been that cold since then
I'm tired of thinkin' bout what might've been

Zit cream soda and a slice to go
I’m Sally in the alley with Curly and Moe
I’m a corporate girl in a corporate suit
Edible panties and a sack of toot
Flying company jet cause I know the boss
Dipped his résumé in my special sauce
Got my little black book and I’m ready to score
Get your dick out your pocket, I’m a DC whore
I pay your way  (that’s right) I don’t testify
You will make my day  (on time, baby)
Or kiss your seat goodbye

Chorus:
  Got a no-bid contract, Bob
  Pussy full of gold
  Ballin’ every PR slob,
  To keep the trail ice cold.
  Ain’t a congressman in town,
  Can’t be bought or sold..
  So, plug it in the socket, I'm a D.C. whore
  Let’s go make us a war

I’m a contract bitch on a secret mission
My tits on a hook, I’m goin’ fishin’
Going up to the penthouse to polish the brass
Serving up my biomass
Come on up baby, don’t make me wait
Tell me a secret,  let’s consumate
Red light district in the Green Zone
Gonna suck that budget clean to the bone
I pay your way  (that’s right) I don’t testify
You will make my day  (on time, baby)
Or kiss your seat goodbye

Chorus

It’s a money town with no meter maid
Do a half-assed job, get double paid
Want a schoolhouse or prison built?
Pay the money up front. I don’t do guilt.
It’s a no-job, snow-job, wa-cha-ma-callit
My patriotic duty.   Get the troops to haul it.
Pissin’ on the face of a prisoner of war
I’m the truth fairy -- pride of the Corps
Mission accomplished. War is fun.
Gimme one more squirt ‘for I cut and run
I pay your way  (that’s right) I don’t testify
You will make my day  (on time, baby)
Or kiss your seat goodbye

Laugh lines drip down Botox face
That's me, baby, parkin' in your private space
for the pits from the fruit of your special sauce
Amour mama, and a sleek toupee
Better save your coupons

So let's sit around and uh, chase our tails
You can rev your Jetson on my monorail
Go ahead - eat that stanky gourmet cheese
I’m gonna eat that chicken you holdin'

Get me on your talk show
You can feed me any line
Gonna spin my mojo where the sun don't shine
I can whistle Dixie, y'ain't heard nothin' yet
Like that Fox that's howlin' on your TV set
I'm howlin' sweeter than Wolf or John Cocaine
Where the hills are alive like Kurt Cobain
I'm smokin' TNT, drinkin' liquid spite
I hope the FCC start a fight

   Jesus walked on the water
   Everybody else fell in
   Any of em coulda been a contenda
   If Paul had done their spin
   They all   want to be The One
   And turn the world their way
   And After all the turnin’s done
   Some tribe is gonna pay
   Now I don’t know what you come to do
   And I don’t know what he come to do
   Jesus walked on the water
   Don’t matter if it’s true
   Jesus walked on the water
   Don’t matter if it’s true

Five big books descending,back  
He's puffin' all down the mountain
Yahway won’t cut no slack
Yo, sad sacks - you're lame  
Worshipping gold and Goldman's game
Party's over; toss your beers
You’ll be roamin’ homeless for a lot of years

Chorus  

Noah hears a poundin', poundin' on his door
It's God out there and he's steamin'
Says, boychik, it's gonna pour
Fridge in the boat fulla homemade brew
Got Charlie D in charge of the zoo
Sailing on a soupy lake
There's walking fish with monkey ways
Here come the the humans on the take
Fuckin up the place; whatever pays
Then the flood returns; it's done
On land they'll roast under red hot sun

Put your face on the dancefloor
   Wave your feet in the air
   Make us believe that you don't care
   Smash your face on the dancefloor
   Put your kicks in the the air
   Wave em some more
   Put your fuckin' face on the dancefloor

Doin’ the job. We all got a job
Nobody has to guess about your job
‘Cause you got the face. You got that face
Everybody knows you got that face
Space is the face. Face is the place
I didn't come to the clubto see your face, Ace

Abracadabra  Clear Channel in flannel
Music vandal, a global scandal
They say the groove will move when revenue improve when musical mojo is all about cash flow
The one and the oh gonna stop the show
All rise to the butter "but - but - but"
Lawyers stutter, no go
Restrain, contain, Rein in the brain  Control, patrol, Dismantle the sample
  Dismantle the sample?
Trample  Cramp the flow of need to grow
Slap on barcode, copyright source code  

Chorus:  
Even the rhythm has got the blues  
Turn on the news, you won't learn a thing  
A book, a look, a song to sing  
Just a logo cloud of lies and bling  
And there's nothing in the air  
There's nothing in the air  
And there's nothing on the air but ka-ching ka-ching  There's nothing in the air  
Nothing in the air  
Nothing on the air  But ka-ching ka-ching ka-ching

Newsmen pimp for the war machine  
Drop some bullshit, see if it float
Spit some fire on the gasoline
and we all hold tight in a little row boat
Clap hands on the one, go shop at the store
Buy more buy more. More More.
Go go buy more, more  
while the Oakie from Muskogee Lose his legs in the war   Pat-a-cake, eat-a-cake, stay awake fucked and fake, baked in the stocks  
You won't get the news by asking the FOX
Microphone, webcam hidden in the bedsprings
War on drugs, every side thugs  
pullin' wings off the offsprings
Moss will gather where the floss can't reach  
If you don't have the brains to teach - you preach Confectionary knowledge base
Baked in haste, symmetrical to taste
Spun and bundled, fondled, bungled
Delivered with slight of hand by the cutest band Corporate coronation of the bland

Chorus

The godfather of holes rules every year election time Do-see-do with kids in the schools  
Telling lies in pantomime  
Dispatched by the strings attached  
Scratched backs in back rooms with the hacks
where the sun don't shine  
Your life line tangled on the dollar sign
Fake dieties, faithful aversion to mystery  
Redline the gospel history  Put intimacy in quarantine All for fear of the unforeseen
Don't do it! C'mon...
Don't pull the plug on the sex machine!  
Relax! Just smell the coffee, squeeze the buns  
The Huns at the gate are just self-hate  Pop a Tums

There's a party goin' on downstairs
Go tell the neighbors
Get rid of the rugs and chairs
Callin' all colors and flavors
We need some African-Americans
European-Americans
Latino-Americans, Asian-Americans
We need some Hottentots and Celts
Visigoths and Welsh
Zulus and Huns, Sweaty badass nuns

Chorus:
   Somebody tell these ladies
   Put some jam inya jammies
   Tell the gentlemen of the jury -
   Put some jam inya jammies
   Throw the landlord out, get crazy
   Put some jam inya jammies
   If you wanna be part of the story

Got Miles in your face
Sun Ra come down from space
Olatunji and his drums of passion
Prince and his kinky fashion
Celia Cruz bring the hot sauce
Bruce! the undisputed boss
JB, the godfather of groove
Batucada gonna make ya move

Chorus

Who's all these black folks
Laughin' at the white folks dance?
People can't help if they're challenged
Just give 'em half a chance
Get all these bankers and lawyers
Stir em in a pot. Add some jalepeño
Let's see what we got
Get your face out of the paper
We're talkin some square biz
Somebody lookin' for a sofa
Gonna tell 'em what time it is

Chorus

Got Muddy Waters and Little Walter
Madonna spillin' wine on the altar
John Cage and a track full of silence
Laurie Anderson and big science
George Clinton gonna get us stinkin'
Joni Mitchell gonna keep us thinkin'
Shirley Caesar gonna preach the gospel
2Pac gonna get hostile

Chorus

INTRO:
   I saw the eyes. I saw the secret Isabel
   I saw the eyes. I saw the secret Isabel

We heard you singing but we couldn’t place the tune
We saw you dancing by the light of your own moon
You saw us and turned away
But I saw something new today
I saw your eyes. I saw the secret Isabel

Chorus:
   Isabel, remember the eyes
   The eyes is the prize, remember the eyes
   Isabel, remember the eyes
   The eyes is the prize, Isabel - the eyes

It gets cold in there
A girl can curl up and get old in there
way too soon
Remember the eyes
They're right here near the light
They’re wearing a coat of arms
to hold you tight
A girl can curl up. Remember the eyes
Just look up. Look into our eyes

Chorus

Outro:  I saw the eyes. I saw the secret Isabel

Fulano de Tal está falando  
    [What’s-his-name is speaking]
But all the ears are broken
Então o povo...  
    [And so, the People... ]
You see... they have spoken
Fulano de Tal -- não é ninguém
    [What’s-his-name is a nobody]
Truth is a prison. Truth is pain
A verdade é paixão. A paixão é pecado  
    [Truth is passion. Passion is sin]
Justice, a hostage - incommunicado
A dança não dança. Um cantor, não a canção  
    [The dance doesn’t dance. A singer -- no song]        There is no future,  no past, no now
Fulano de Tal... sua palavra final  
    [What’s-his-name . . . his last word:]
The river is burning. The world keeps on turning.

Onde estão os desaparecedos?
Where are the disappeared? Where is my father?
Where is my mother? Where is my brother?
Where is my sister? Where are my friends?
