[Intro Melodic Soft] [Verse 1] Crossing through the city in a jacket thin and gray, Broken shoes to carry him through another fading day. Every corner changes voice, the streets don't feel the same, The sidewalk turns and bites him, so he learns to hide his name. [Pre-Chorus] He keeps his name locked tightly, buried in his chest, In case somebody calls it, in case he fails the test. And deep inside, an old radio hums low, Static full of hunger that never lets him go. [Chorus] Only in my mouth, it pulls me clear of you. Only in my mouth, it starts my engine true. Only in my mouth, I find the will to stay, without so many people, without a lie to say. (only in my mouth) (only in my mouth) [Interlude] [Verse 2] He drifts through broken cumbias, the speaker blown and cracked, A southern folk song lingers, still clinging to his back. The city leaves its fingerprints, the smell of gasoline, A half-closed rusted shutter, a window blank and clean. He won't buy in to promises, won't trade for one more line, And if you hold him too close, he'll break the bond each time. [Pre-Chorus] He keeps his name locked tightly, buried in his chest, In case somebody calls it, in case he fails the test. And deep inside, an old radio hums low, Static full of hunger that never lets him go. [Chorus] Only in my mouth, it pulls me clear of you. Only in my mouth, it starts my engine true. Only in my mouth, I find the will to stay, without so many people, without a lie to say. (only in my mouth) (only in my mouth) [Bridge Instrumental Percussion] [Final Chorus] Only in my mouth, it pulls me clear of you. Only in my mouth, it starts my engine true. Only in my mouth, I find the will to stay, without so many people, without a lie to say. (only in my mouth) (only in my mouth) [End]
