Lyrics
(H) La sirena abajo suena por la Lexington,
y tu abuela reza el rosario en el televisor.
(M) "Te vas a caer de ese borde, Hector, ven pa' acá,"
y me pasas el café con ese gesto de mamá.
[Chorus]
(H) Grábame este ruido de fondo, mi amor,
el coquí que canta contra el motor.
Es la única frecuencia que ajusta el dolor,
la tubería vieja de este corazón.
[Verse 2]
(M) Tus manos raspan, llenas de grasa y de ayer.

(H) Pero esta noche, Marisol, esta noche sí,
el manómetro del alma marca casi frenesí.
[Chorus]
(H) Grábame este ruido de fondo, mi amor,
el coquí que canta contra el motor.
(M+H) Es la única frecuencia que ajusta el dolor,
la tubería vieja de este corazón.
[Bridge]
(H) Mañana el vapor me va a gritar tu nombre otra vez.
(M) Y a mí la ambulancia… Ay, bendito, ¿tú ves?
[Outro]
(H) Grábame este ruido…
(M) El coquí contra el motor…
