[Intro] Close your eyes, perdido. The night's been long. But I'm still here... cabrón. [Verse 1] I know the dark, lost one. I was born in its calle. The same black you're lost in, perro. I walk it, I breathe it, I know it all. So lay your head down, perdido. The jauría's asleep now. But I keep the watch, cabrón. Yo velo, I don't bow. You're lost on tierra de nadie, dog. Between the lines, between the tongues. But you're not nobody, mi niño. You're the reason I sing these songs. [Chorus] Lullaby for the lost. (perdido...) Lullaby for the lost. (yo velo...) Sleep now, perdido. I kept watch all the night. Lullaby for the lost. (descansa...) [Verse 2] I been lost too, dog. Al lado del camino, alone. Ni de aquí ni de allá, perdido. No map, no phone, no home. The sun didn't rise for me either, perro. I had to wait it out. But it rose, cabrón. It always rises. That's what the night's about. So dream of the mesa, lost one. Dream of the lowrider, the crew. Dream of la jauría, mi sangre. They're dreaming of you too. [Chorus] Lullaby for the lost. (perdido...) Lullaby for the lost. (yo velo...) Sleep now, perdido. I kept watch all the night. Lullaby for the lost. (descansa...) [Bridge] You're twitching in your sleep, perdido. The nightmare's got you. But I'm right here. Nobody touches you while I breathe. Yo velo por ti. But when the sun comes, I'll be gone. ...sun comes... gone... Not for me, cabrón. ...not for me... [Verse 3] Dream of the mesa, lost one. The dust still on your face. Dream of the lowrider's rumble. That was your hiding place. But here's the truth, mi niño. The one I never told. You think I guard your sleeping? No you're the one who holds. When the sun cuts through the blinds, I fade and that's my fear. So keep your eyes closed, perdido, and keep me here. Not for your sake, dog. For mine. I'm not ready to disappear. So sleep don't wake. Don't let the morning take me. This song is my anchor. They call it Sun City, but the sun never sets for me. ...Sun City... never sets... I'm the shadow that stays while you dream. ...shadow stays... [Chorus] Lullaby for the lost. (perdido...) Lullaby for the lost. (yo velo...) Sleep now, perdido. I kept watch all the night. Lullaby for the lost. (descansa...) [Outro] Sleep now, perdido. I'll keep watch. Yo velo por ti... ...and the sun never sets on Sun City. ...never sets... ...cabrón.
