You’re the branch without roots
Nor patience for fables
A slow game from which I can never escape
I’ve spent a thousand lives trapped in Madrid
On the margin of its pages
How do you ask me to take flight if I’m nailed down here?
Oh, Madrid
I left my wings in the subway
And I don’t know how to go on
No, I can’t go without you
Oh, Madrid
Your face fogs up in the mirror
I miss you as much as I miss myself
The bank jumps and it smells of blood in the Ritz
Today the hand was quick
I’m a vampire biting my tongue at the sight of you like this
Not even with a kiss will there be a happy ending
You leave me a prisoner of love and rage
My darling, what will become of me?
Oh, Madrid
The beast with dead eyes will pass
It has no end
No, I won’t flee without you
Oh, Madrid
I’ll steal the flowers from your funeral
I miss you so much
Cursed ivory tower
I won’t flee
No, I won’t flee without you
I miss you so much
Cursed ivory tower
