pretend

Hush, baby

Hush, baby, don´t say the words

It´s better we leave things like this,

Easier to part with the body,

When you haven´t seen the soul.

 

I don´t need your tenderness,

There´s no tomorrow anyways

Let´s just fall asleep like this

And pretend to be lovers

For a night.

30s

The 30s are great-

You don´t need to pretend anymore

To like whatever you didn´t like at 20

Like eating ceviche or reading Kafka, for example.

 

Except for the lamentations in my head

And the biological clock- God, how I hate being a mortal!

The 3os are great

People are not as insecure anymore

And they´re more straightforward, too.

 

You can be odd and it´s cool

`Cause what is cool, really?

I wouldn´t know- never been cool

Always on the other side

The deeper the cut

The higher the heels.
