The rules of the game

What are you to me tonight?
Other than
Something we know from the past
Is that a laugh we had?

Why are we here tonight?
Are you sure?
Before the night is over
I'll be yours

It's the rules of the game
The rules of the game
What can I do?
There's no thing as a lie
No thing as a lie
More as the truth

Do you think it's right
Just to stare
Straight into a picture
All zero and one

Who am I to you tonight?
Look at me
"Don't talk", he says:
"Hmm let it be"

It's the rules of the game
The rules of the game
What can I do?
There's no thing as a lie
No thing as a lie
More as the truth

It's the rules of the game
The rules of the game
Don't ask me why
No one knows how to win
Or knows what is fair
We just get by

It's the rules of the game
It's the rules of the game

El roedor que ve en la oscuridad

Play me



Karma police,
arrest this man,
he talks in maths
He buzzes like a fridge,
he's like a detuned radio

Karma police,
arrest this girl,
her Hitler hairdo,
is making me feel ill
And we have crashed her party

This is what you get,
this is what you get
This is what you get,
when you mess with us

Karma police,
I've given all I can,
it's not enough
I've given all I can,
but we're still on the payroll

This is what you get,
This is what you get
This is what you get,
when you mess with us

And for a minute there,
I lost myself,
I lost myself
And for a minute there,
I lost myself,
I lost myself

A veces tengo muy claro que podría vivir encerrada escuchando la voz sublime de Thom Yorke, caminando por la casa en remera y bombacha. Ir descalza, comiendo lo que encuentro (unas poquitas almendras, unas avellanas, ser casi un ratoncito). Cantar con él, caminar sobre un piso blanco y negro (es un damero) con todo el tiempo del mundo.

La letra de Karma police: unas pocas líneas -la inspiración certera es infinita aunque sea tan corta.

Chorus: se me entrecorta el aliento ante tanta belleza. Ajena. O mía un rato, mientras junto unas nueces que se me perdieron debajo de la mesa. Y allí abajo todo es destino puro y hay un monitor con el que me encuentro cara a cara cuando la canción vuelve a empezar aunque esta vez en video.
