Rob Schackne #499 - 'I'm sitting across"


I'm sitting across
from the devil
we're both twitching

neither of us can sleep
he's got a silver spoon
I'm holding a silver knife
what's this wall about

why are we laughing
I'm a Mexican too
walk out into the shadows

he's got the knife
I have a wooden spoon
we haven't seen
the moon for days

where are you now sweet Marie

  2. Estoy sentado
    a traves del Diablo
    el y yo muy agitado
    ninguno puede dormir
    tiene un cuchara de plata
    yo una navaja de plata
    que pasa con esta pared
    porque estamos riendo
    tambien soy mejicano
    salimos de las sombras
    el ya tiene la navaja
    yo una cuchara de madera
    hace muchos dias
    que no veemos la luna
    Maria mi amor donde estas

  3. Don't know about the Spanish, but I like the English anyway! Can see those vivid colours, even in the dark.
