tangled - david yazbek lyrics

[taxi driver]
have you ever had one of those days
where the world is amazingly cracked and confusing?
what you’ve lost you’ve been hoping to find
then you find that it might be your mind you are losing

you keep trying to follow the plot
like there must be some twist you forgot
but the logic is tied in a knot
you’re tangled up
tangled up

for example, there’s this one who once was with him
who’s with her
who is this one’s attorney
she’s at sea, so is he, so is she, so am i
so let’s try to unravel the journey

from the moment your heart catches fire
you’re a slave to the law of desire
in a h-ll made of telephone wire, tangled up
tangled up

[back in pepa’s apartment, carlos is fixing the telephone, as candela finds a note in her purse.]

[candela, spoken]
aww.

[carlos, spoken]
what is it?

[candela, spoken]
a love note from malik.

[carlos, spoken]
“you’re out of olives.”

[candela, spoken]
yes.

[carlos turns over the note.]

[carlos, spoken]
what’s this?

[candela, spoken]
what?

[carlos, spoken]
on the back. it’s a map of the central courthouse. all the entrances, exits, security points…

[candela, spoken]
so he really did have plans for today! i thought he was just blowing me off.

[a beat. she realizes.]

oh.

[carlos]
i don’t know why i suddenly feel like the whole room is tilting

[candela]
i don’t know why my type of a guy is the type of a guy
who would blow up a building
i keep running and going nowhere

[carlos]
why does love have to be so unfair?

[candela]
i mean, even my hair is completely tangled up

[carlos]
tangled up

[candela]
tangled up

[carlos]
now i’m tangled
tongue tangled
i’m tongue tangled most of the time
tongue tangled
your tongue tangled
i want your tongue tangled up with mine

[we now see pepa and iván at separate phone booths, as they each leave a message for the other.]

[iván, spoken]
pepa? pepa, sweetheart?

[pepa, spoken]
iván?

[iván, spoken]
where are you?

[pepa, spoken]
are you there?

[iván, spoken]
i understand if you don’t want to see me.

[pepa, spoken]
i have to see you before you leave town.

[iván, spoken]
i want to tell you…

[pepa, spoken]
i need to tell you…

[iván, spoken]
pepa…

[pepa, spoken]
d-mn it, iván.

[iván, spoken]
i don’t know…

[pepa & iván, spoken]
call me.

[iván]
tell me what in god’s name am i doing
to ruin my usual elegant exit?
while i make my retreat
something pulls at my heart and my feet
and entirely wrecks it

[pepa]
tell me when did the wires get crossed
tell me where the connection was lost
tell me how i got tumbled and tossed and
tangled up
tangled up

[paulina]
you hear music in the distance
pretty music, you think you’re in luck
then the music gets louder and louder and bam
you’re hit from behind by the ice cream truck

[ambite & ana]
i mean, what the f-ck?

you walk around scratching your head
and repeating “if only…”
and the question is which would you rather be —
totally tangled or totally lonely?

[all]
that’s the thought you can keep in your mind
that’s the knot you can try to unwind
that’s the thing to be sure to remind yourself
when you fall in the same kind of bind yourself

and you lose yourself
and you find yourself
tangled up (tangled up)
tangled up (i’m tangled up)
tangled up (i’m tangled up)
tangled up (tangled up, tangled up)
totally tangled up

[carlos]
i’m tangled most of the time

[candela]
the type of a guy who would blow up a building

[taxi driver]
like there must be some twist you forgot

[carlos]
i want your tongue tangled up with mine

[taxi driver]
twist you forgot

[iván]
my usual elegant exit

[all at once:]

[pepa]
in a nest made of telephone wire

[carlos]
i’m tangled most of the time

[candela]
the type of a guy who would blow up a building

[taxi driver]
you keep trying to follow the plot
like there must be some twist you forgot

[pepa]
wires got crossed

[carlos]
i want your tongue tangled up with mine

[candela]
i mean, even my hair is completely tangled up

[all]
totally tangled up
