Saudade daquilo
que não se tem
do que não é

Mas poderia ser
E seria lindo
Penso em ti o tempo todo
E vivo o tempo todo sorrindo

Pensando em ti
Será que pensa em mim?

I'm homeless

My bed is a cardboard box
On any street corner, freeway & park I desire
Sometimes it's hard to keep up with a pair of socks
While people are trying to get away when they see
Us on the block
Everything that was in my house is either now
Lost, in storage or in a shopping cart, buggy
My mood depends on the weather, if it's nice or muggy
Or if I eat that day, or not?
At St. Anthony's, Glide, Mother Brown's and
Sometimes the garbage can
Maybe a nice restaurant when I hold out
My cup or hand...
To escape my pain I either drink or get high
That's the only way I know how to get by
I've hit rock bottom a few times in my life
I want so bad to get out of this misery & strife
I walk in dark alley ways
Where dogs and cats have gone astray
Listening to a schizophrenic in disarray
Trying to find his way back home
Talking out the side of his neck and dome
It's hard going from pillar to post
Watching crack and meth-heads chase that white ghost
Leaving behind loved ones who cherish you the most

Broken bottle tops the smell of piss in the air
Sometimes I lose all hope and despair
Caught up so it seems
But I can't lose my thoughts and dreams
One day I will have a place to be where I can call home again
I won't be in jail or the pen
It will be my sanctuary, my place, my domain
Somewhere I can call home again
So don't discard me, because I don't have an address
I'm just homeless

Amor à primeira vista

Saudade de você
Que tava logo ali
E acabei de conhecer
Sente tanto em comum
Isso não vai chegar a lugar nenhum

E que venha a decepção
Ou a possível redenção
Me deixe rubro
Seja isso verdade
Que eu esteja errado
