Snakeskin

Pele de cobra

Snakeskin

Eu nasci já pregado na cruzI was born already nailed to the cross
Eu nasci com um sentimento que eu estava perdidoI was born with a feeling I was lost
Eu nasci com a capacidade de falarI was born with the ability to talk
Eu nasci com uma cobra-like caminhadaI was born with a snake-like walk

Eu estava viajando agora em um manto cidadeI was trippin' now on a city cloak
Eles foram separados em seguida, dentro da luz solar mortalhaThey were separated then within sunlight shroud
Eu nasci um homem aleijado nas minhas costasI was born a crippled man on my back
Eu era natural, eu era negro geográficaI was natural, I was geographic black

Eu estava sonhando com um homem com um néon de voltaI was dreaming of a man with a neon back
Eu estava sonhando com um homem com um ataque cardíacoI was dreaming of a man with a heart attack
Perdi meu mármores todo o, gaiola de rosa rosaI lost my marbles all over the pink, pink cage
Tentei encontrar um cabo que foi contratadoI tried to find a cable that was engaged

Eu estava perdido naquele lar para idosos e solitárioI was lost in that home for the aged and lonely
Eu chorei e eu me engasguei, eu estava doente e eu estava ossosI cried and I choked, I was sick and I was bones
Eu estava sentindo um pouco o inferno, eu estava me sentindo meio solitárioI was feelin' kinda hell, I was feelin' kinda lonely
Em um tempo foi apagado, mas sim, eu era tão caseiraIn a time was erased, yeah but, I was so homely
