Si mis plegarias no fueran
A la Virgen sino a ti
Qué pensarías? Qué dirías?
Si de la noche soy un pedazo

De suelo que flota, entre tus sueños
Como una perla, te saco de lo oscuro
Te llamo por tu nombre
Y digo que no puede ser

Quisiera ser alcohol
Para evaporarme en tu interior
Quisiera ser alcohol
Para evaporarme de una vez
Y sentir lo que es pasión
Y sentir que soy querido de una vez

Si algún día me miras
Abrazado de tu sombra
No me separes, déjame sólo
Sin movimiento, como una lágrima
Que corre por tu cuerpo
Lamiéndote la piel

Quisiera ser alcohol
Para evaporarme en tu interior
Quisiera ser alcohol
Para evaporarme de una vez
Y sentir lo que es pasión
Y sentir que soy querido de una vez
