City Blues [j. Agnello Mix 2011] Lyrics - The Nightly Disease - Madrugada

And the night comes on 

And the heat dies down 

And the city sprays beams of light into space 

Looking very much like a giant, glowing pineapple 

I throw open the window 

Unknown birds on rooftops 

And rooftops set against the radiant sky 

So this is where people live 

People live, breathe and die in this place 

Keep their own little pills 

In their little holes 

Little holes of enormous appetite 

Shouting at passers by from windows high above the street 

Threatening to take a step of hot blood against the setting sun 

Until they are finally brought to sleep and we can rest 

You alone carry the weight of your body 

And the night comes on 

And the heat dies down 

I am alone 

I have a key for a hotel room 

And I used to have a home 

I just arrived from someplace else 

And upon arrival I saw from inside of the aluminum fish 

The city lay silent 

Silent 

And glowing with a veil of chemicals 

Reaching the very face of the moon 

I was glad I didn't live down there 

And sad that I had to keep coming back 

I walk up streets and down streets 

And I go to all the familiar places 

No I do not recognize anybody 

I search the bars for little salty portions of friendship 

But they are all long gone 

You alone carry the weight of your body 

So I start walking 

It is a painful walk 

I try walking in front of people 

I try walking the proud walk of the ancient poet 

I alone went out to meet the sea 

And the wave was breaking right there 

Right there at my chest of fine marble 

But this is only partly making sense 

I am pursued by the snake of solitude 

By the time I head on back for the hotel 

You alone carry the weight of your body 

The words enter my mind a third time 

As I lock the door behind me 

Feeling that I had come in from the rain 

I am lucky to have this room 

I am lucky to ... of dawn 

I will undress 

And I will pack my bags before I go to sleep 

You alone carry the weight of your body 

There are colorful lights at the very fresh ... of sleep 

Now this thing has an imagination of its own
