A year later, the group signed up to CNR and released an EP called Las Paticas de la Abuela (Grandma's Little Feet), followed by the band's first album, Cuentos Para Adultos (Tales for Adults), in 1994. Performing a mixture of Latin Punk and alternative rock, Caramelos de Cianuro returned in 1996 with Harakiri City, released by Polygram. Two years later, original drummer Pablo Martínez was replaced by Alfonso Tosta, and the group soon toured with Colombian band Aterciopelados.

Creo que no es bueno llevar el pasado
De compañero en el puesto de al lado
Algunos dicen que la vida es un viaje
Será mejor disfrutar del paisaje
A todos nos gusta mirar hacia atrás
Pero yo escojo no verte más
Me voy buscando una suerte mejor
Voy a arrancar el retrovisor
He visto que es muy común en la gente
Tener dos veces el mismo accidente
Por experiencia sé que algunas veces
Estas más cerca de lo que pareces
Se apagó la luz que corta el horizonte
Frente a mí el atardecer se esconde
Y no me puedo detener
Correr, correr, correr
Sé que no conozco el final de la vía
Ni que trae cada nuevo día
Y no me pienso devolver
