Lyrics
Quien canta sus males espanta ©
Muddy moods and curdled skies, trifling memes and garbled lines,
Interludes in masking guise, stifling times hobble by.
Drugs and booze are mind balloons, lockdown drag-out fights ensue,
hugs and kisses just old blues, many souls, still to lose.
Song a day song a day, keep those muddy demons at bay, today.
Wrong, wrong, just flat-earth wrong, stalled for months, we limp along
headlong into plainsongs, dread and hope so prolonged.
Dawn insinuates new tunes: from honeyed suns to rousing moons,
fresh horizons rise to hew silent passions in late bloom.
Song a day song a day, keep those muddy demons at bay, go play.
Cantá cantá cantá cantá: tus males espantás. Song a day song a day, keep those muddy demons at bay.
