The world moved by your trembling word
Your voice rang like a thunderclap
There's no need for a whip to crack
When syllables like yours are heard
It's written in our omens first
A wolf came tearing through the black
He fed on others in the pack
A creature with his colors turned
Un fulanito de nombre bendito
Ofrece su alma con cada palabra
Muestra sus dientes en gesto indecente
Y fanfarronea su abracadabra
Un fulanito de nombre bendito
Ofrece su alma con cada palabra
Muestra sus dientes en gesto indecente
Y fanfarronea su abracadabra
She was a beauty
You were a patsy
And for your trial
A shot in the chest
The world's Jack Rubys
Clean vigilantes
In ancient style
They laid you to rest
The ravens wore black for you that day
She was pretty enough to behave that way
But what will she do when she starts to grow old
When her body can't launch any ships no more
When do you think that you got off
Who told you to try Lenny Bruce
You think yourself a Nabokov
You're just a well-dressed Alley-Oop
As eloquent as a bad cough
Falling sick for Betty Boop
So go on, little cartoon boy
Find a Betty to destroy
Un fulanito de nombre bendito
Ofrece su alma con cada palabra
Muestra sus dientes en gesto indecente
Y fanfarronea su abracadabra
Un fulanito de nombre bendito
Ofrece su alma con cada palabra
Muestra sus dientes en gesto indecente
Y fanfarronea su abracadabra
Without pain
Without fear
Would I know love
Would I know love
Hoofbeats pound
They draw near
When they show up
Will I show up
Without pain
Without fear
Would I know love
Would I know love
Hoofbeats pound
They draw near
When they show up
Will I show up
