Zivis mi u venama

ranog snega s kaputa
'zalud sve, gde nema staze
nema ni puta
Sam, k'o zao glas
zivim posle nas
Sudim ti po zakonima
odbeglih ptica
kriva si sto smehom
svlacim umor sa lica
Ti svu ljubav das
ponosna na laz
Ref.
Jos zivis mi u venama
u krvi vrelijoj od olova
taj bol mi je u genima
k'o zar pod prstima lopova
Ref. 2x
