El Blanco
(words by Joe Jackson, Spanish translation by Theresa Ortiz de Hajopoulos;
music by Joe Jackson)
Uptown - downtown
They don't get tangled - I'm the white one
Black, white - day, night
They don't get tangled - I'm the white one
It was said how crazy I am
Wandering around this neighborhood
Look, be careful
But what's the point
I know I'm nobody
But wherever I walk
You could smile at me
Shake my hand and kill me
If He said I'm crazy
Living in a crazy city
I tell them they're lazy
Either I know nothing, or they sink
I know what I do,
Happy day after day
But something happens
And I am a coward
