Se llena un vagón
En la estación
Pasa un transeúnte
Chiflando una canción
Se prende un cigarrillo
Esperando el tren
Con la mano en el bolsillo
Ahí parado en el andén
Con la cara gastada
Y los ojos negros
De perro viejo
Mirando la calle
Por el ventanal
Sube el humo de la villa
De La Paternal
Y parece aburrido
Mirar y mirar
Y mirar tanto tiempo
La gente pasar
Con la nariz mojada
Y la paranoia
De perro viejo
Un culo come trapo
Se me cruzó
Y se me quedó mirando
Hasta que desapareció
Y me armé un tabaco
Pensando
Cada minuto es uno menos
Yo me quiero enamorar
Señora, ¿tiene fuego?
Me la quedé mirando
Como perro viejo
Hay olor a humo
Hay olor a tren
Hay olor a lluvia
Y a pobre también
Cruza un rayo el cielo
De La Paternal
Y me suena como el grito
De un perro con bozal
Que igual sigue chumbando
Ladrando echado
Como perro viejo
