[Refrain]
I will gift you a rose
A red rose to paint every thing
A rose for each one of your tears to console
And a rose to let me love you
I will gift you a rose
A white rose, as you were my wife
A white rose that you can use to forget
every little pain
[/Refrain]
My name is Antonio and I am crazy
I was born in '54 and I live here since I was a kid
I believe I talked with the Devil so they closed me 40 years inside a madhouse
I write you this letter, because I dunno how to talk
forgive the calligraphy on par of a first grader
And I get surprised, if I still feel an emotion
but the fault is my hand's, that doesn't stop trembling
I am like a piano with a broken key
the dissonant accord of a drunk orchestra
and day and night look just the same
in the feeble light that pierces the opaque windows
I still piss myself because I am scared
for the society of the healthy we've always been trash
Stink of pee and sawdust,
this is mental illness and there is no cure.
[Refrain]
Madmen are question marks without a sentence
thousands of spaceships not coming back to base
they are puppets lain to dry in the sun
Madmen are apostles of a god that doesn't want 'em
I make myself some snow with polystyrene
my pathology is that I am now alone
Now y'all get a telescope and measure the distances
And look between me and you, who is more dangerous.
Inside the pavillions, we loved each other secretly
Cutting us a corner, that was only ours
I remember the few instants were we felt alive
Unlike the medical records stored to fill the archives
Of all my memories, you'll be the last to fade
You were like an angel tied to a radiator
Despite everything I still wait for you,
and if I close my eyes I feel your hand touching me
{Refrain]
My name's Antonio and I'm on the roof
Dear Margerita, it's 20 years that I wait for you
Madmen are we when nobody understands us
When even your best friend betrays you
I leave you this letter, now I have to go
forgive the calligraphy on par of a first grader
And you get surprised if I still feel an emotion,
well get surprised again, because Antonio can fly.
