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
