Roger Waters - Dogs

Tekst :

You gotta be crazy, you gotta have a real need
You gotta sleep on your toes, and when you re on the street
You gotta be able to pick out the easy meat with youreyesclosed
And then moving in silently, down wind and out of sight
You gotta strike when the moment is right without thinking.

And after a while, you can work on points for style
Like the club tie, and the firm handshake
A certain look in the eye, and an easy smile
You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to
So that when they turn their backs on you
You ll get the chance to put the knife in.

You gotta keep one eye looking over your shoulder
You know it s going to get harder, and harder, and harder asyouget older
And in the end you ll pack, fly down south
Hide your head in the sand
Just another sad old man
All alone and dying of cancer.

And when you loose control, you ll reap the harvest thatyou vesown
And as the fear grows, the bad blood slows and turns to stone
And it s too late to loose the weight you used to need tothrowaround
So have a good drown, as you go down alone
Dragged down by the stone.

I gotta admit that I m a little bit confused
Sometimes it seems to me as if I m just being used
Gotta stay awake, gotta try and shake of this creeping malaise
If I don t stand my own ground, how can I find my way out ofthismaze?

Deaf, dumb, and blind, you just keep on pretending
That everyone s expendable and no-one had a real friend
And it seems to you the thing to do would be to isolatethewinner
And you believe at heart, everyone s a killer.

    Que quede claro

    No, ya no
    queme tu bandera
    se acabo

    No, ya no
    cruce tu frontera

    No sé ni cuantas horas me pase
    volando bajo, llamándote
    hoy de repente quieres regresar
    cuando en mi mundo ya estas de mas

    This is you life

    Where is the purpose in your life
    Where is the truth, do you remember your hopes, your dreams
    They are no longer your own
    This day is for living your own life
    Don t let this world capture your heart
    Your passion lost to a thousand themes
    Surrendered to the...

    Paris is burning

    All of the boys and the girls here, in Paris.
    Sing to the night without sight, but with madness.
    I can t keep up, I m a wreck, but I want it.
    Tell me the truth, is it love or just Paris?

    My heart is yearning, but Paris is burning.
    Paris is burning all night...

    Beauty of my dreams

    One day I met the beauty of my dreams
    Such pretty eyes she had you know it seems
    Long hair that flowed down behind
    I saw it all you know I was so blind
    Wound up on her side of town
    Bright lights and loud music all around
    I gazed into her eyes and she in...
