As regras do jogo

Ela não conhecia as regras, as regras daquele jogo de palavras juntas em frases bonitas. Ela tinha passado incólume pela idade dos amores, provavelmente sempre convicta do seu namoro. Ela não tinha vivido e sofrido o amor do início da idade adulta ou o do final da adolescência. Ela não sabia que a um “gosto de ti” se responde com amor sincero mesmo de palavras feitas. E eu quis ensinar-lhe tudo o que tinha aprendido, muito devagarinho. Mas afinal quem me mostrava o caminho era ela, porque sabia agradar-me como ninguém...

How I tried to catch you while

You ran ahead of me, I lassoed Mars

To see if you were hiding there

But you'd already ran past Jupiter to Pluto's moon

And my rope won't reach that moon

This a state of electrical shock

You were so beautiful

I thought you'd last forever

But you came and you went

When the lights went out

You went like you came

In a lightning bolt

Why did you go like this?

I slam against the wall

It's crushing my skull

Why did you go like this?

I slam against the wall

Of permanence, permanence

Permanence

Why did you go like this?

I slam against the wall

It's crushing my skull

Why did you go like this?

I slam against the wall

Of permanence, permanence

And like a ghost

I'm spinning with you

In circles

The dance of Pluto's moon
