[Intro: Rallying Brazilian female lead, shouting over the surdos] Belt stopped Bag's gone Fine [Verse 1: Rallying Brazilian female lead, rallying, riding the drums] Galeao at midnight, the belt going round Everybody's bag is coming up from the ground Stripes and stickers and a pink one with a bow Mine's in Lisbon or in Frankfurt, I don't know Lady at the counter with a form and a pen Says senhora, maybe Thursday, maybe then I got a passport, I got a phone I got the shirt that I flew in, I got a city of my own [Chorus: Rallying Brazilian female lead, belted, rallying, surdos stomping] Keep the bag, I'm better without it Lighter on my feet and I'm loud about it Everything I need is out there in the street Keep the bag, I'm better without it [Verse 2: Rallying Brazilian female lead, rallying, faster] Bought a dress off a rack on a wall in Lapa Sandals from a man with a stall and a cap, ha Sunglasses five reais, a hat from the beach Lipstick from a girl who was selling within reach Danced in the square till the drummers went home Ate on the curb with a stranger I've known For an hour and a half, felt like years in a day Never would have met her with my bag in the way [Chorus: Rallying Brazilian female lead, belted, rallying, surdos stomping] Keep the bag, I'm better without it Lighter on my feet and I'm loud about it Everything I need is out there in the street Keep the bag, I'm better without it [Bridge: Rallying Brazilian female lead, surdo stampede, everything drops except the batucada drums, stamping harder every bar, then the band crashes back on her shout] Thursday nothing Friday nothing Saturday I stopped asking Sunday I stopped caring Monday I stopped counting Now [Verse 3: Rallying Brazilian female lead, rallying, all the way up] Last morning, there's a knock on the hotel door Courier sweating with my bag on the floor Same black zipper and the tag with my name Seven days late and it's still looking the same Inside, the shoes that hurt and the blazer I hate The plan that I packed for a person who waits Gave him a tip and I gave him a kiss Said take it to Lisbon, tell it I'm done with this [Chorus: Rallying Brazilian female lead, belted, rallying, surdos stomping] Keep the bag, I'm better without it Lighter on my feet and I'm loud about it Everything I need is out there in the street Keep the bag, I'm better without it [Outro: Rallying Brazilian female lead, laughing, the repiniques ring out and fade] Boarding pass That's my bag [End]
