At the Masked Ball

Versions: #1
Click to see the original lyrics (Italian)
Christ, drugged by too many defeats,
surrenders to the complicity
of Nobel, who explains to him the practicality
of a possible prize for kindness.
Maria, neglected by an Oedipus now shrewd,
mimes one of her nostalgic scenes of the Nativity.
I, with my bomb, bring the novelty,
the bomb that makes its social debut
at the masked celebrity ball.
 
Dante at the door of Paolo and Francesca
spies one who is doing better than he:
there behind is recounted a normal love,
but he'll know then how to render it so brilliant.
And the voyage to hell, make it now by yourself,
with your last envy left there under a sheet.
Surprised at the door of a delight,
the bomb saved normality,
at the masked celebrity ball.
 
The bomb is not by nature kind,
but driven by impartiality
it upsets the improbable intimacy
of a seeming Statue of the Pietà.
Grimilde of Manhattan, Statue of Liberty,
now your vanity has no more rivals
and the mirror game won’t repeat -
“Am I more beautiful, or the Statue of the Pietà?” -
after the masked celebrity ball.
 
Nelson, ripped at his carnival,
chases after his identity
and searches for his mask, his pride, his style,
busy always with winning and never with dying.
Then from the Felucca hat now in tatters
he tries to pull out the rabbit of his Trafalgar,
and in his agony, scattered here and there,
he implores a Saint Helena still jointly owned,
at the masked celebrity ball.
 
My father demands aspirin and affection
and runs up against his authority.
He entrusts to a dressing gown his final role,
but he explodes afterwards, first his decorum.
My mother approves herself in shards of mirror.
She should accept the bomb with serenity,
martyrdom is her job, her vanity.
But now she accepts dying only halfway,
the part of her still living pities herself so,
at the masked celebrity ball.
 
Someone left the moon in the bathroom
turned only halfway on,
that little amount enough for me to count the fallen,
astounding me with their fragility.
And now you can remove my feet from the neck,
friend who taught me the “How is it done?”
If no I’ll carry you back for a few minutes,
I’ll set you down to converse, I’ll put you there seated
between Nelson and the Statue of the Pietà,
at the masked celebrity ball.

If children would rule the world





I.went for a walk today
Through friendly streets
The friendly streets of my city
Everyone turns to look at me
To look at me curiously
 

Just one small, playful, friendly child
Small and mischievous
Looked at me with trust
He was singing and laughing as he played
Laughing and playing as I walked away
 

If children would rule the world
And instead of war, they would order play
Men would have genuine smiles
And every street would be filled with singing
 

If children would rule the world
And instead of war, they would order play
Men would have genuine smiles
And every street would be filled with singing
 

Everyone turns to look at me
To look at me curiously
People are ready to judge me when I smile
When I smile, they look at me with malice
 

Just one small, playful, friendly child
Small and mischievous
Looked at me with trust
He was singing and laughing as he played
Laughing and playing as I walked away
 

If children would rule the world
And instead of war, they would order play
Men would have genuine smiles
And every street would be filled with singing
 

If children would rule the world
And instead of war, they would order play
Men would have genuine smiles
And every street would be filled with singing

Porncraving





It is known everywhere
The girls of Venus
The girls of Venus are infected by Venereal Diseases
In fact no one goes to the primaries/chief physicians to vote,
Anyone with problems of the urinary tract
But I am the chairman
And I don´t care about nothing
And further
I started again with HIV-love
And I don´t understand why you are upset
you have no reason
If I told you that the result is positive, really
You are all the porn I need
You are all the porn I need
You are all the porn I need
All the porn
Now I'm taking this sick word
And spread it to the whole electorate
This is a less invasive method
I will sit down in the armchair of a television talk show
And in a second I'll explain my program to you, so
Now I'm buying the TV, the love, newspapers and the Voodoo guru and I think
That this freedom is a little simple
As news, really
You are all the porn I need
You are all the porn I need
You are all the porn I need
You are all the porn I need
You are all the porn I need
You are all the porn I need
All the porn
All the porn
All the porn
And with a sick glow on the face
Saying: 'It's crazy not to carry this cross
Everyone thinks so much of themselves
So let it be, love,
And tell me, what am I to you?
What am I to you?

Beyond (Reprise)





And we will follow our star together
We will surge like a tide
The whole world is our home
We’ll go all the way
To the beginning of all beginnings
Where our very first dock remained
From the depths as one we will rise
We will follow the star

Even though I don't tell you





If I make it to stay quiet this time
and enjoy this moment with nothing that interrupts us
If nobody's looking for us
I can stand up on you
You keep so stable when doubts come to me
 

Where are you
I think about what you must be doing
I set a time-out every time
you leave
I can pretend I entertain myself
and I don't miss you
 

I love you so much and I know
sometimes I forget
but I can't lose
what life gives me
And I don't know what to answer
when you don't look at me
but you know I'm ok
Even though I don't tell you
 

You float on the room where you're in
And I'm trying to catch you, though you say that in every one of your lives,
you would choose me
How many mouths there are that want to eat
If they just knew what you can do when everything is over
 

Where are you
I think about what you must be doing
I set a time-out every time
you leave
I can pretend I entertain myself
and I don't miss you
 

I love you so much and I know
sometimes I forget
but I can't lose
what life gives me
And I don't know what to answer
when you don't look at me
but you know I'm ok
Even though I don't tell you
 

Even though I don't tell you
Even though everything's over
Even though I don't tell you
This may end well
Even though I don't tell you
even though everything's over
Even though I don't tell you
this may end well
 

I love you so much and I know
sometimes I forget
but I can't lose
what life gives me
And I don't know what to answer
when you don't look at me
but you know I'm ok
Even though I don't tell you
