lyrics

A vida passa, meu
uma pena
estarei morto
num cemitério europeu
quando o metrô passar
pela Vila Madalena
preciso me lembrar
das raízes
e do desespero
o original do Ponto Chic
hum, balagandãs
hum, balagandãs

(Minha mulher) tá que nem doida
para que eu me vire sozinho
o terror vive, meu bem
em Elephant & Castle
ah, meu amor, vamos fugir
eu fujo de várias crises
mas o terror vive em Elephant & Castle
o buraco da alma
é lá embaixo
ah, vamos fugir mais uma vez
