Lady Pank - Minus 10 w Rio

What is this house
can somebody tell me?
How on earth did I end up in it?
Everything looks fine, even dog and a child
except that there is no way to leave

Overhead, the ceiling has been taped
with newspapers from 20 years ago,
Lying supine, I have in front of my eyes,
from the Express, still these two headlines:

“Minus ten in Rio”
“Plague in Santa Fe”
Everything round goes by
like in a madman’s daze

Aw, I’d give a fortune
if at least I knew the truth
how long I have been within
Somewhere from the outside,
focused, you’d hear the sound
of a guitar solo by Alvin Lee

The child’s one year old
long-haired and its stare so cold
like a poker player when risking a bluff
in the dog’s room, the silence is so cool
as if a lion was about to pounce

“Minus ten in Rio”
“Plague in Santa Fe”
Everything round goes by
like in a madman’s daze

“Minus ten in Rio”
“Plague in Santa Fe”
Everything round me goes by
like in a madman’s daze
