A leather black living in my buildingUn chico de cuero negro viviendo en mi edificio

He was on my welcomeÉl estaba en mi bienvenida

He used to say positively, he was negative, wellSolía decir positivamente, él era negativo, bueno

But then he'd read his book with his back to mePero luego leía su libro con la espalda hacia mí

I love that backAmo esa espalda

And the city was his cakeY la ciudad era su pastel

And the boys, little girlsY los chicos, las niñas

And ice creamY helado

His hair was bleedingSu cabello sangraba

He was bleeding on my dressÉl estaba sangrando en mi vestido

My dress was redMi vestido era rojo

Positive and negativePositivo y negativo

And then we'd read a bookY luego leíamos un libro

With our backs to backCon nuestras espaldas juntas

And the city was our cakeY la ciudad era nuestro pastel

And the girls, little boysY las niñas, los chicos

And ice creamY helado
