Idiot Smile

So I sat and I waited, patiently for the years to pass
with the violence of each day, of each coming day
When they thought I was running away,
I was merely gathering speed
I was merely gathering speed my friend
I did my best to avoid you
I made all efforts not to see her
my silence says too much
has shades of absence and the wrecks of your touch
Has your breath stopped lately?
do you not see it clear?
the life you knew laughs from the window
oh Idiot smile where have you gone to?
trust not the devil when your hands are clear
I'll tell the truth for once, this time;
My lies have aged to perfection
Oh my euphoria has its nerve in you
Oh my euphoria has its nerve in you
Has your breath stopped lately?
do you not see it clear?
the life you knew laughs from the window
oh Idiot smile where have you gone to?
trust not the devil when your hands are clear
Oh my euphoria has its nerve in you
Oh my euphoria has its nerve in you

Pudera eu aqui ficar até o sol se pôr. E de novo até voltar a nascer. Até que não pudesse distinguir nem dia nem noite, nem mesmo eu.
Mas a noite arrasta-nos para Volterra…
