Raul Seixas (June 28, 1945 - Salvador, Bahia, Brazil; August 21, 1989 - Sao Paulo, Sao Paulo, Brazil) was a brazilian composer singer and songwriter, and one of Brazil's most genuine rock'n'roll rebels. He died of heart attack due to diabetes problems that were related with alcohol abuse at the age of 45. Seixas listened to Elvis Presley since his youth and by imitating him he learned to play guitar at a young age. He was exiled to the US when a military coup overthrew the Brazil government. Shortly after, however, he released his album Gitawhich was greatly successful.

How Cold I Know Lyrics

Raul Seixas

reformulation
rearrange the game you're in
let's start from the begin
with confidence you'll win
that's the reason you were born
'cause Jesus Christ, man
won't be coming back no more
he's set up his proper loss
and you know well that he did
just what he could have done
when I was growing
and my hair was getting longer
I was feeling so much stronger
I could carry my guitar
and I knew that I could sing
but, hey, how could I know
the wind would blow in the rain?
hey, how could I see
what would they make out of me?
when I was little
used to dream I was a king
now they taught me how to sing
think I've got most everything
I could ever as 'fore
you've got your pencil
your guitar, your amplifire
you will set this world on fire
like Nero did to Rome
but, hey, how could I know
my eyes could see in the dark?
hey, don't press on me
I'm not to blame, cant you see?
it's been to long now
since the latest reb has gone
who knows will be the next
to go down in History
