<removed copyrighted lyrics>


You go always, doll, between the cirrhosis and the overdose.
with your dirty shirt and, instead a smile, a sort of mocking face???.
How not to imagine you, How not to remember you, two years ago from now?
When you where the strawberry mouth princess?,
when you had yet the hability to hurt me in that way.
Now it's very late, princess.
Search another dog to bark to you, princess.
Danm the guru that between you and me rised a dark silence from which you only come out to say to me,
Lend me five "duros" (coins o five pesetas).
I'm not afraid of you, baby, but I can't go after you in your travel.
How many times I would give my hole life for you asking me to take your luggage.
Now it's very late, princess
You that sowed in every fashion island the flowers of your shine (¿?).
How could'n you see yourseff wrapped with a "pharmacy assault" dead?.
What law could we use to condemn you, being all us judge and part of your adventures?
Go on with your insane way of living, but don't ask to me to be all the life paying bails.
Now it is too late. princess.
Search another dog to bark to you, princess.


muchas gracias

Your walking the fine line between cirrosis and overdoses. You, with the
dirty shirt and a smirk instead of a smile.
How can I forget they way you were were? What two years have done!You were a peach back then, princess, back in the days when you knew how to break my heart. That was then, babe. It's too late now, and you're barking up the wrong tree with me. Damn the guru who built the
wall between me and you. Now your only words are, "hey buddy, can you lend me a twenty?" I'm not carrying your bags no more. Your little drug trip will have be without me. You're sowing the seeds of your own dark future (with dope you've made your own bed, and it's looking like a deathbed to me). Would you be convicted by a jury of you peers? No... keep playing your game, but don't come to me to pay your bills. It's too late now. You'd be barking up the wrong tree. Find another fool to do your dirty work.

I've altered this a little because direct translation sounds too awkward.

Unfortunately, posting copyrighted material is not allowed for legal purposes. I have removed the copyrighted lyrics. If you need help with one line or phrase of the lyrics, you are free to post that and ask about that line, but posting the lyrics in their entirety is not allowed. Thanks!

Desgraciadamente, el poner material con derechos de autor no se permite por razones legales. He borrado la letra con derechos de autor. Si necesitas ayuda con un solo renglón o una sola frase, con toda libertad los puedes escribir y solicitar ayuda con eso, pero no se puede poner toda la letra en su totalidad. ¡Gracias!
