Speak Soft
Jerry had some beers and started to sing
he knows just what he means he don't mean a thing
he waited for the wisdom years would bring, to him
on the refrigerator door
are the words he had written moments before
it says 'i hope i never have to go to war'
speak soft, baby don't you talk to me
he goes to the dance and falls in love
years later it's still her he's thinking of
she never spoke once or even looked up, enough
speak soft, baby don't you talk to me
Houdini closed himself inside of a box
he didn't have a trick to spring the lock
off the stage the people watched, the clock
prison could be a nice place to live
the bars on the window like bars on a crib
freedom is the least desired gift, to give
speak soft, baby don't you talk to me
Jerry had some beers and started to weep
it's time to turn away, it's his time to sleep
don't trouble yourself with seeking peace, go cheap
Habla suave
Jerry tomó unas cervezas y empezó a cantar
él sabe exactamente lo que quiere decir, no significa nada
esperaba que los años de sabiduría le trajeran algo
en la puerta del refrigerador
están las palabras que había escrito momentos antes
dice 'espero nunca tener que ir a la guerra'
habla suave, nena, no me hables
va al baile y se enamora
años después todavía piensa en ella
ella nunca habló ni siquiera levantó la mirada, suficiente
habla suave, nena, no me hables
Houdini se encerró dentro de una caja
no tenía un truco para abrir la cerradura
fuera del escenario la gente miraba, el reloj
la prisión podría ser un buen lugar para vivir
las barras en la ventana como las de una cuna
la libertad es el regalo menos deseado, para dar
habla suave, nena, no me hables
Jerry tomó unas cervezas y empezó a llorar
es hora de apartarse, es su momento de dormir
no te molestes en buscar la paz, ve por lo barato
