In room no. 26

That neon sign
says "yes" and then "no"
it's the uncertain state of mind you're in
you can't do it
but from the men
that embrace you
and that steal the joy out of your eyes
you can't go away
you can't go away
 
if tears
helped you
you'd get rid of the pain that now exists
it's inside you
 
In room no. 26
between those flowers you never look at
where you sell your body hourly
where loving each other doesn't mean love
and laying down you get further away from yourself
in room no. 26
where you always face a new goodbye
that hurts your need of affection
in that short contact that doesn't really exist
 
The man you don't want
The man you don't know
is knocking at your door for some time now
but you won't answer him
like swallows (birds)
uncatchable
fly free away from a body that is tired by now
the thoughts you have
 
In room no. 26
between those flowers you never look at
if you look out the window you see the sea
you start bearthing again
then you get lost in its harmony
and you have the courage to go away
away from a dirty world that you don't want
away from a kiss that isn't tender
that doesn't know what a caress is
 
and you walk along the sea(shore)
in its slow breathing
you're now a part of that whole
 
In room no. 26
you put a flower in your hair
while the new dawn is coming
in the wind's perfume.
 
In room no. 26
