Preview of doom (but I don't care)

You're a very plain girl
And I'm a very complicated guy
You want to wrap yourself in me
I really don't mind
But do you have to ask my number
As if it was the Grail?
Didn't your mother warn you
About guys like me?
Don't be fooled
I just want to get in your pants, nothing else
Although I like playing at seduction
I will trample you and make you cry
And no remorse will be felt
So, don't act all surprised
When I tell you you're no good
Just smile quietly and exit peacefully
And leave me the fuck alone

Lamento do yuppie aprendiz

Pouca coisa me falta na vida
Pouca coisa tenho por conquistar
Na ultimação dos pormenores de mais um dia
As luzes apagam-se atrás de mim
Conduzo o carro pela marginal a cento e cinquenta à hora
Por uma Lisboa deserta
As estrelas pouco me dizem
Limitam-se a brilhar e é tudo
Na calçada, os meus passos
E as lâmpadas que iluminam publicamente
Chego a casa
Deito o casaco num canto
Sento-me na secretária
E desejo
Alguém com quem falar

Porque não?

A habilidade de transmutação
Faz bater o coração
Se é bom, se é mau
Quem dirá o que isso é?
Mais um dia, só mais um dia
Palavras que fazem as sinapses disparar
O meu corpo tremer
Num torpor descontrolado
Ser breve, ser telegráfico
Ser tudo o que sou e não sou
Não me prives
Deste prazer
Não me cortes as asas
Que eu não saberia o que fazer

And badly

It all started with an eye contact on the twenty third night
If we stuck together, we knew the stars would be shining right
It was so simple, so bland and never sweeping
And now I'm here and you're with me and we are reaping
Maybe the electricity in the air isn't plugged in properly
But there's a reason even if the words are traded soberly
When our lips touch, sparks fly and moreover
Have no doubt, no matter what, I wanna win you over

I am sad, sometimes, you know that's true
Sometimes I'm messy and careless, but you
Have your smile and your ways and even so
You hug me tight when the train arrives and you have to go
Your hand sweats when it holds mine and it's so sweet
Remind me to tell you all of this next time we meet
Because I'm thinking how I'd feel if now you were closer
Trust me, baby, more than anything, I wanna win you over

E quem és tu?

Quem diria?
Às vezes, rogar pragas à lua dá resultado
Não sei quantas vezes
As ideias foram todas na corrente do rio
Não sei quantas vezes
Me passaram átomos sujos pelas mãos
Mas sei que ela foi uma surpresa
Mas sei que ela foi inesperada
Mas sei que não sei nada
A não ser que ela sangra treze vezes por ano
A não ser que ela tem olhos
E todas as outras coisas de que um amigo precisa
E isso é bom o suficiente para mim

A complete blank

Tell me some words I might adore
Tell me some things I wish to hear
Everything is a complete wasteland
Everything is bone and swarms of insects
Despising is one thing
Not appearing is another
It was easier to swell and hiss
Now, nothing really gets to me anymore

All I'm asking
Is a mind that makes its echo heard
In this resonance chamber that is my heart
All I'm asking
Is butter fingers petting
Is tattoed, mascaraed melodrama
Give me something to work with
Now, no one really excites me anymore

And a warning to the careless out there:
Everyone is my little tool
Everyone is my little puppet
You'll be immortal through the most dreaded of processes
You'll be a drop of paint, an electric impulse
Something to be awed and gazed at
Are you sure?

I'll be around
Waiting with my pen up in the air
Waiting to stab it through your chest
And suck you dry
I never said this would be fair
But this is what you get when you play my sick little game
All I'm asking after all
Is for someone to fill the blank
