RUBIO’S LAMENT – by Waitress

Singer: Kennedy Rubio

Note: This song includes singing in Spanish.

I know it's over

But I can't stop sneaking

Through your window

Something 'bout it satisfies my melancholy

Church bells are ringing

Officers are filled with bright ideas

Somewhere in the distance now

A voice is calling

My feet are growing restless in this prison cell

My lawyer thinks I'm doing well

But it's 40 to life

She is a ruthless miser

No one doesn't despise her

And you're all starving

So I'll take the knife

[Bridge]

Her ugly corpse is

Bleeding on the hardwood floor

But the maid already came today

Policemen always lie when they're uncertain

So you've gotta black and white the blue

[Chorus]

I know it's over

But I can't stop sneaking

Through your window

Something 'bout it satisfies my melancholy

Church bells are ringing

Officers are filled with bright ideas

Somewhere in the distance now

A voice is calling

[Verse 2]

Tampoco en la calle (Even in the streets)

Tampoco en la muerte (Not even in death)

Tampoco si te vas dónde nadie pueda verte (Even if you left, gone running to where nobody could’ve guessed)

Está es tu suerte (This’ll be your fate)

Rubio, por siempre (Rubio… your eternal…)

[Chorus]

I know it's over

But I can't stop sneaking

Through your window

Something 'bout it satisfies my melancholy

Church bells are ringing

Officers are filled with bright ideas

Somewhere in the distance now

A voice is calling

[Verse 3]

And yeah I did it but

I don't think you could understand

For you are just a simple man

Oh, you are just a simple man

[Outro]

Church bells are ringing

Officers are filled with bright ideas

And though I fear no god above

I hear him calling me
