I've Got No More Reasons
I've tossed my crutches asideI don't double over my walker anymore
Oh doctor, this sickness only lets me dance
Pain no longer cripples me and I never grow tired
I nearly sing with every move I make
Oh doctor, this sickness only leads me to dance
Do something,
Because I don't have any reasons left to complain
I don't get skinny anymore and I don't get fat
And any excess just leaves me more in shape
Oh doctor, this disease only leads me to dance
My heartbroken sobbing now laughs with delight
And I can hardly bear so much well-being
Oh doctor, this sickness only lets me dance
Do something,
Because there's no reason anymore for me to complain
All the ills in the world make me break out in a lively jig
And I've even come to believe in the future
Oh doctor, I'm so sick I can only dance
I croon over the misery that is my destiny
And if death comes, then we'll tango together!

Lights of The João XXI
Sitting in the puffShe reread Proust
He made bluff
On the bridge
She listened to Bach
He liked The Clash
Between the two
There was no Click
She made Step
He ate in a Snack
She quoted Brecht
He didn't
She wore Dior
He, Redbook sneakers
Between the two
There was no Click
(instrumental)
She went to the Lux
And drank a Flut
And he Super Bock
on a Strip Club
She lived in a loft
He leaded on a spot
Between the two
There was no click
But one day
A cherub
Came to Earth
And made 'plim' on the lights on João XXI
And so, without there being a click
Between the two there was affectionally
Between the two there was lovingly
Between the two there was only... 'pum'

What I Saw in My Dreams
The light didn't comeThe sound wouldn't leave
And I thought the world
Had forgotten us
My body shook
Your arms crossed
But we stood side by side
Till the end
And what I saw in my dreams
Was alight in everyone's eyes
Tell me if it was so
Fate knew
What I wasn't expecting
The light of the stars so near
And the two of us here
We went on fearlessly
We wrote our story
My name, yours, ours
A memory to last
And what I saw in my dreams
Was alight in everyone's eyes
And now I know that it was so
And what I saw in my dreams
Was alight in everyone's eyes
And now I know that it was so

Rubber Duck
From what I seeYou seem like a tub sailor
And I foresee
A barbarian and a vile outcome
As they barely open the faucet
A disaster is shimmered
In your wish
To own the biggest trawler
Maybe they??? die/cap you???
And a wave might still send you
Against the tub's enamel
Or against a rubber duck
I have faced the waves of the seven seas too
And I was the comandant of a bow's fleet
But the solitude and some disillusion
They sing to me like this
You miss a lighthouse keeper
Who wards the light off of your eyes
Who points you to the piers
There are so much illusion in life
Why to hear so many lullabies?
I've already lost my faith
You go there against the ducklings
Let me saile this bow
From what I see
From the fish you fished
From this size
It shrank or went shrivelling
Or it dissolved itself in the bucket
Or there was never any fish
And the stew of potatoes and onions
Was cooked without onions or potatoes
Not a pan to put them there
May you never run out of tuna cans
I've been swung
By the mermaid's singing
I took her in
Made her fillets and fed her
Might digestion be conscience or reason
That I hear in me
You miss a lighthouse keeper
Who wards the light off of your eyes
Who points you to the piers
There are so much illusion in life
Why to hear so many lullabies?
I've already lost my faith
You go there against the ducklings
Let me saile this bow
Hope you like it
