Lyrics
Seis de la tarde en el Malecón Tarapacá,
y el párpado izquierdo empieza a vibrar.
Mi moto apagada, el río no dice na',
es una corriente de pura espera.
[Chorus]
El ojo que salta,
no sé lo que canta.
Si es pena o es plata,
si vienes o te vas.
[Verse 2]
Me dijiste "Te llamo el martes sin falta".
El calor se pega como un sudario.
El grito del juane se pierde en la plaza,
y la duda es un caimán quieto en el barro.
[Chorus]
El ojo que salta,
no sé lo que canta.
Si es pena o es plata,
si vienes o te vas.
[Bridge]
Un cable pelado debajo la piel,
conectado a un mundo que no puedo ver.
Un pulso de selva, un anuncio de miel o de hiel.
[Outro]
Sigue saltando.
No llamas.
Sigue saltando.
