El Cuerpo

Lyrics

Knock, knock — who's there?
Nobody… maybe… nobody's there
Gato a la puerta
Standing in the in-between

The doorbell rang unexpectedly
I opened up to what I couldn't see
A probability cloud where a guest should be
Half here, half gone — a mystery

Consider the imposition
Of this superposition
El timbre sonó (inesperado)
Now it says it never showed

How rude, how rude
Qué descaro, oh
It swears it never rang at all
Choice is a treacherous soul
La elección — traicionera
Standing at my door
How rude, how rude
No sé nada más

Abrí la puerta, and there I found
A cloud of maybe, no solid ground
Y encima se atreve a jurar
Que nunca sonó — it was never there

Consider the imposition
Of this superposition
The audacity to claim
It never even came

How rude, how rude
Qué descaro, oh
It swears it never rang at all
Choice is a treacherous soul
La elección — traicionera
Standing at my door
How rude, how rude
No sé nada más

(Did you ring?) — Nunca sioné
(Were you here?) — No estuve aquí
(Do I choose?) — La elección
(Traicionera) — till the end

Knock, knock — nobody's there
A cloud of maybe in the air
Gato a la puerta, fading slow
Half goodbye, half hello
