Prendedor
Frank Jorge Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Não vai ser um simples prendedor.
Pendurado no varal que vai me prender.
Por que todos os rebentos já rebentaram.
O que tinha de ser rebentado.
E o que resta pra você, são as novelas na TV.
Presas no jornal para você limpar o céu.
Não vai ser um simples prendedor.
Pendurado no varal que vai me prender.
Por que todos os soldados que deserdaram.
Certamente queriam fazer.
O que um jovem normalmente faz com essa idade.
Livre por completo de tantas obrigacões.
Não vai ser o meu computador, totalmente programado.
Que vai resolver.
Uma vida mais bacana, realizável era tudo que eu queria ter.
Meu coração é um Winchester ocupado.
Na memória eu guardo o gosto de você.




Tico-tico, tico-tico vai, tico-tico vai...
Tico-tico bum.
