WALKING IDLY

Independent in the area
doesn't need favours
doesn't hold on at any cost
to his address book

Looking for in darkness
some material to whisper
to a coincidence that will bump into him
in the ears of his wife

He's a loafer
he's a bum

The streets give him
time without accountability
he succeeds to pass
by the insults

Looking for in darkness
one rich sound
to a coincidence that will bump into him
for the rest of the song

He's a loafer
he's a bum

In his eyes there's "what's all this?"
in his ears there's laughter
what already passed through his nostrils
his mouth wants to scream

Looking for in darkness
a bit to see him
to a coincidence that will bump into him
suddenly with his death

He's a loafer
he's a bum

One shoe lace is torn
the other's one is gone
sometimes his step is uncertain
sometimes he walks ok
