Like Karagkiozi
Karagiozis:
is a traditional figure of greek culture (theater's figure), a very poor person who though, had a nice time and was also wise sometimes.
This thing that makes me have an itch, this thing that saves me
is that I am dreaming exactly like Karagiozis does
(I wish I could) lift on my awful back friends and enemies, like they were passengers
My white sheet, my crazy lamp
which of our loves is blowing?
Put in your shadow this child
that tonight has no place to go, to go
I am counting gibbous' words as if they were beans
behind the white sheet, inside the grave
But no matter how much I count, there is something more than what it should be here
our love has holes and it doesn't protect us
My white sheet, my crazy lamp
red egg or carnaval?
Inside the ballot box, the statistic
Death is looking at us and he seems very hungry
Words and pictures slip like shadows
winters leave like garbage's cars
And if you are not ashamed to sit in the back seat
come to the performance for me to BOO you
My white sheet, my crazy lamp
which of our loves is blowing?
Put in your shadow this child
that tonight has no place to go, to go
