Am the Same Girl
She said: "Life isn't so fine
after all, let it come if it has
to come" What she meant
was she couldn't find words
she was sick and tired of the
tears. She said: "I'll use
whatever God gave me but now
I haven't got a chance"
came from the land of desert sand
And the wind blows my way
She was blowing her sombre blue
horn again with a string tied to
the back of my hand. She stepped
right out of a two tongue tale
with a brilliant smile on her face
She said: "Eyes are slaves
of suspicion they can torture you
to death"
came from the land of desert sand
And the wind blows my way
Red gleams of a bloodnight darkly
cold, cold whisper touched my ears
And I guess that's where I left
her. Wild, wild shivers drew
us near. Yes, I guess that's where
I left her. By the light of these eyes

No fundo da madrugada
No silêncio na calada
De repente foi chutada
Na batida
Começou a batucada
E o som seco dessa lata
Era um funk lá na lapa
Era o wailers na Jamaica
Um pagode na Nigéria
Era o morro em pé de guerra
Diz na lata chuta lata vira lata
Diz na mão diz no pé diz que diz
Na lata
Nego diz
E não entala
Demorou snague bom
É o bonde é o trem
Do estácio ao pavão
Não tem pra ninguém
Do Borel ao Tabajaras
Na Mangueira na
