vagabond opera - coimbra lyrics

Loading...

the crooked streets of coimbra
smoking a cigar
the students singing fado
with a black look and guitar
the orange peel unwinding
in the robust underbelly
in the gilded maze of coimbra
there’s a wh-r- with an umbrella

and you drank too many ports
that bottle was a flirt
the african with half a face
flicks ashes into dirt
your comp-ss is unpeeling
it’s hanging upside-down
the sinister cafe
sings another round

and the cobbled streets pursue you
there’s a beckoning pinched face
at the end of gilded walkways
they put alleys into place
the bridge lurches into water
to escape your leg’s embrace
and she smiles a cracked smile
the prost-tuted daughter

ah, my cerveira
i long for lisboa
the sheets on the bed are clean
you’ll be my countess
i’m carved in your sh-r-
shall i escort you to the ring

cerveira
beijinhos
cerveira

cerveira
beijinhos
cerveira

[instrumental]

in the crooked streets of coimbra
there’s an envoy of the ages
he kisses alleys with his cane
his sulphur lips are faded
read a sonnet to a countess
his raspy breath in tongues
she breathed the air so long ago
lies underneath the stones

the crooked streets of coimbra
are the arts of a black widow
she folds you into orange blossoms
cradling the middle
like a stillborn torn and stumbling
into cracked and risky pavement
my brain is singing fado fast
the alleyways are mumbling

like a tavern or a monastery
sorting out its miscreants
misfits of these alleyways
hardening the ambiance

then here comes a dreamless night
here comes a dreamless night
i’ll only dream of crooked streets
and maybe of cerveira

ah, my cerveira
i long for lisboa
the sheets on the bed are clean
you’ll be my countess
i’m carved in your sh-r-
shall i escort you to the ring

[instrumental]

aaah!

cerveira!

beijinhos!

cerveira!

aah!

cerveira!
