you need but ask it
im so very glad to share this good advice
youve got to learn how not to be
where you are
the more you face reality； the more you scar
so close your eyes and youll bee a movie star
why must you stay where you are？
youve got to learn how not to see
what youve seen
the slice of hell you call your life
is harsh and mean
so why not lie beside me on a movie screen
why must you see what youve seen？
and if you find that you land in jail
a little fantasy will not fail
its just as simple as abc
e up here； play with me； play with me！
youve got to learn how not to do
what youve done
the pistol shot cant kill if you unload the gun
so build a place where youre the shah
and well embrace in that shangri…la
if you run away； some matinee
from where you are

and a little red door
and three flights up is marta
waiting there is marta

talking； smoking； lying together

so i close my eyes
and i hear her step

its just a dream of her

aurora
i do miracles
though the lash of the whip
has caused your flesh to tear
i will place my lips on you everywhere
and ill do miracles
blood
on your slender hips
blood
underneath your eyes
blood
on your firm young thighs
let me kiss it away
so that i can hear you say
that i do miracles
though your breath racks your ribs
and you throb with pain
theres a juice on my lips
for each purple stain
and my hair sweeps your chest
like the cool； black rain
you cant explain； though you will see
i do miracles in me
marta
i do miracles
aurora
i do miracles
marta
as i cradle you close and caress each bruise
what ive e here to give；
you must not refuse！
both
there is love in my touch that is yours to use
and if you chose； just breath my name
and ill be doing miracles
i do miracles
there are miracles in me。。。
gabriels letter / my first woman
gabriel
im sorry to hear theyve taken you away
im sure youre innocent
youre such a good man
you must be innocent
and im sorry if ive never told you
how grateful i am
for the movies； the talks； and the books
the gifts to my wife and newborn child
i am truly sorry

i know what you wanted of me

what a strange thing to be sorry for
but thats the way it is； isnt it？

valentin
my first woman； i remember my first woman
back of a building
me and my friends
a couple of pesos
there on the gravel
down on her knees
what did she look like？
probably plain
who can remember？
but to me she was the keeper of all mystery

orderlies （prisoners）
ooh。。。
first you take your arm and stick it out
then you take a tube you twist about
pull it tight until you find a nice blue vein
and ooh； ooh； ooh； ooh； ooh； ooh； ooh； ooh
then you take two fingers； pat the skin；
try the needle out； then stick it in
any second now； youll feel no pain
just ooh； ooh； ooh； ooh； ooh； ooh； ooh； ooh
not bad； is it？
dreams drift by
loved ones visit as you lie there。。。
ooh； ooh； ooh； ooh； ooh； ooh；
oooooooooooooooooohhhhhh。。。
you could never shame me
molina
am i dying mama？
mother
hooo！ listen to him！ a good son doesnt die before his mother。
you are going to see me off； thank you very much； and i am going
to be waiting for you with a good warm shawl。
molina
im so sick； mama！
mother
a good son sees his poor old mother through her old age； he doesnt
leave her for a tummy ache！
molina
youre not old。。。youre still beautiful。
mother
i bet you say that to all the girls！
molina
there are no girls； mama。。。 i have brought you such shame！
mother
no luis； only if you did something cruel； or uncaring。。。
you could never shame me
there； ive told you so
many things confuse me
but this i know
let the neighbors gossip
at the mention of your name
you have never brought me shame
i know some mamas have roughnecks
who never bring them joy
thank god； youre not that kind of boy！
i know that youre different
i dont really care
i would never change a hair
you like this valentin； dont you？
molina
to him； im a silly window dresser。
thats all i am to everyone but you！
mother
hoo！ what nonsense！
some other mamas have children
whose secrets hurt them so
but you have no secrets； i already know
and。。。you could never shame me
let me say out loud
ive a son； a loving son；
who makes me proud。。。

spider woman
good evening； howve you been？
molina
go away； you know how ive been！
spider woman
i only want to talk； why are you afraid？
molina
ive always been afraid of you！
spider woman

spider woman
but i am beautiful
molina

spider woman
and i am warm and kind and gentle；
why dont you like me？
molina

spider woman
someday you will understand
i am your friend
some day you will kiss me
molina
never； never； go away； go away！
spider woman
someday youll give in
of course you will； all men do
yes； all men kiss me and you will too
youll part my lips and rest yours there
youll run your fingers to my hair
your cries of pleasure
will heat the cool night air
when you kiss me
and you will kiss me
but not now！ not yet！ not now！
orderlies
ooh。。。
now that you have found this perfect place
permanent delight lights up your face
never mind the rhumba beat of sweet cocaine
just change this morbid scene
take some more morphine
and do ooh； ooh； ooh； ooh；
the morphine tango
ooh； ooh； ooh； ooh； ooh； ooh；
oooooooooooooooohhhhhhhh！
shes a woman
molina
she wears satin
spanish lace
she feels wild chinchilla
brush across her face
shes lucky； shes a woman。。。
she wears diamonds
bright as stars
she has lovers open doors
to fancy cars
shes lucky； so lucky； shes a woman。。。
a perfume by lanvin
to dab across her wrist
a secret； ribboned diary
of all the men shes kissed
lilac waters bathe her skin
at the opera； ushers gasp
when she sweeps in
gifts of chocolate； roses too
hand delivered notes
confessing 〃i love you！〃
milky lotions； scented creams
shes the climax
of your technicolor dreams
how lucky can you be？
so lucky； youll agree
and i wish that she were me
that woman。。。
