Song From The Second Floor

Bienvenido.Welcome.
Abundante depresión aquí.Plenty of depression here.
Funciona para guiarte, para ayudarte a aprender cómo comportarte.It works to lead you in, to help you learn how to behave.

Este circo es fino y despiadado.This circus is fine and merciless.
Exquisito e insensato.Exquisite and senseless.

Los has espiado, los has visto celebrar.You have spied on them, watched them celebrate.
Observaste a través de los pequeños agujeros que has quemado en sus cortinas.Watched through the small holes you have burned in their curtains.
Has visto a los anfitriones dispersos contra una extraña luz amarilla.You have seen the scattered hosts against a strange yellow light.

Sí, tienes toda la razón, la humillación es el alma de esta ciudad.Yes, you are absolutely right, humiliation is the soul of this city.
Sus gargantas y azoteas, sus calles congestionadas.Its spouts and rooftops, its clotted streets.
Esas personas pálidas y feas yacen y gritan sobre otra en un intento de ahogar su propia responsabilidad sobre la miseria ajena.Those pale, ugly people lie and scream over another in an attempt to drown their own responsibility over each other's misery.
