Lyrics translated into Español · See the original lyrics
He writes paperbacks and publishes himselfÉl escribe libros de bolsillo y se autopublica
Sneaks into the book shop and puts them on the shelfSe cuela en la librería y los coloca en el estante
He's tried getting them stocked properly, but the manager is toughHa intentado que los coloquen correctamente, pero la gerente es dura
And she refuses to sell the really violent stuffY se niega a vender cosas realmente violentas
The shop is well stocked with romance, and there's plenty there for kidsLa tienda está bien surtida de romances, y hay mucho para niños
But his stories of destruction, she completely forbidsPero sus historias de destrucción, ella las prohíbe por completo
And yet still he wears disguises and he puts on fake voicesY aún así se disfraza y pone voces falsas
To get his books on the shelves among the more wholesome choicesPara colocar sus libros en los estantes entre las opciones más saludables
Because his books are about murderPorque sus libros tratan sobre asesinatos
His books are about killingSus libros tratan sobre matar
They focus upon vengeanceSe centran en la venganza
In an attempt to be thrillingEn un intento de ser emocionantes
They don't hold back on the detailNo se contienen en los detalles
Even when maybe they shouldIncluso cuando tal vez deberían
His books are about murderSus libros tratan sobre asesinatos
And they are filled with bloodY están llenos de sangre
When they first started appearing, she flicked through the pagesCuando comenzaron a aparecer, ella hojeó las páginas
Although they turned her stomach, she thought about them for agesAunque le revolvían el estómago, pensó en ellos durante mucho tiempo
And she found, in time, that these sordid talesY descubrió, con el tiempo, que estos relatos sórdidos
Stuck in her head like blood under fingernailsSe quedaban en su cabeza como sangre bajo las uñas
Soon the romance novels bore her, she craves violence and morePronto las novelas románticas le aburrieron, anhela violencia y más
But she knows the local parents love her family-friendly storePero sabe que a los padres locales les encanta su tienda familiar
And so she clears them from the window and removes them from the shelfY así los retira de la ventana y los quita del estante
But every time he leaves a new one she takes a copy for herselfPero cada vez que deja uno nuevo, ella toma una copia para ella
His books are about murderSus libros tratan sobre asesinatos
His books are about killingSus libros tratan sobre matar
They focus upon vengeanceSe centran en la venganza
In an attempt to be thrillingEn un intento de ser emocionantes
They don't hold back on the detailNo se contienen en los detalles
Even when maybe they shouldIncluso cuando tal vez deberían
His books are about murderSus libros tratan sobre asesinatos
And they are filled with blood.Y están llenos de sangre.
