Me veras volar
Por la ciudad de la furia
Donde nadie sabe de mi
Y yo soy parte de todos

Nada cambiara
Con un aviso de curva
En sus caras veo el temor
Ya no hay fábulas
En la ciudad de la furia

Me veras caer
Como un ave de presa
Me veras caer
Sobre terrazas desiertas
Te desnudará
Por las calles azules
Me refugiaré
Antes que todos despierten

Me dejarás dormir al amanecer
Entre tus piernas
Entre tus piernas
Sabrás ocultarme bien y desaparecer
Entre la niebla
Entre la niebla
Un hombre alado extraña la tierra

Me veras volar
Por la ciudad de la furia
Donde nadie sabe de mi
Y yo soy parte de todos

Con la luz del sol
Se derriten mis alas
Solo encuentro en la oscuridad
Lo que me une con la ciudad de la furia

Me veras caer
Como una flecha salvaje
Me veras caer
Entre vuelos fugaces
Buenos Aires se ve tan susceptible
Ese destino de furia es
Lo que en sus caras persiste

Me dejaras dormir al amanecer
Entre tus piernas
Entre tus piernas
Sabrás ocultarme bien y desaparecer
Entre la niebla
Entre la niebla
Un hombre alado prefiere la noche

Me veras volver
Me veras volver
A la ciudad de la furia
