Empacó un par de camisas, un sombrero 
Su vocación de aventurero, seis consejos, siete fotos 
Mil recuerdos 

Empacó sus ganas de quedarse 
Su condición de transformarse 
En el hombre que soñó 
Y no ha logrado 

Dijo adiós con una mueca disfrazada de sonrisa 
Y le suplicó a su Dios crucificado en la repisa 
El resguardo de los suyos 

Y perforó la frontera 
Como pudo 

Si la luna suave se desliza 
Por cualquier cornisa 
Sin permiso alguno 

Porque el mojado precisa 
Comprobar con visas 
Que no es de neptuno 

El mojado tiene ganas de secarse 
El mojado esta mojado por las lagrimas que evoca la nostalgia 
El mojado, el indocumentado 
Carga el bulto que el legal no cargaría 
Ni obligado 

El suplicio de un papel lo ha convertido en fugitivo 
Y no es de aquí porque su nombre no aparece en los archivos 
Ni es de allá porque se fue 

Si la luna suave se desliza 
Por cualquier cornisa 
Sin permiso alguno 

Porque el mojado precisa 
Comprobar con visas 
Que no es de neptuno 

Mojado 
Sabe a mentira tu verdad 
Sabe a tristeza la ansiedad 
De ver un freeway y soñar con la vereda 
Que conduce hasta tu casa 

Mojado, mojado de tanto llorar 
Sabiendo que en algún lugar 
Espera un beso haciendo pausa 
Desde el día en que te marchaste 

Si la luna suave se desliza 
Por cualquier cornisa 
Sin permiso alguno 

Porque el mojado precisa 
Comprobar con visas 
Que no es de neptuno 

Si la visa universal se extiende 
El día en que nacemos 
Y caduca en la muerte 
Por que te persiguen mojado 
Si el cónsul de los cielos 
Ya te dio permiso
