Hay novedades
En el barrio de la Cruz
Que los niños sólo
Se alimentan de luz
Alucinados van virando
Hacia el azul
Otros meditando
A cuesta con su cruz
Electrizados
Cruzan cielos sin dormir
En la carretera
Asumen formas mil
Unos venden humo
Otros creen que son Jesús
Muchos acordeonistas ciegos
Tocando blues
Sienten nostalgias
Solos en la multitud
Otros tiran piedras
Y agotan su inquietud
Mas hay millones de seres
Que se disfrazan también
Que nadie pregunta
Lo que sabrán hacer
Son basureros
Que revuelven la ciudad
Son los poceros
Es gente sin edad
Ya no se acuerdan
Que hay un barrio de la Cruz
Que fueron niños
Y que comían luz
Son leñadores
Andan en la construcción
Son los bomberos
Conducen un camión
Ya no se acuerdan
De aquel barrio de la cruz
Que fueron niños
