Satin Summer Nights
Sal
I been sleeping on the roof of my building
Its cooler than the street.
I been watching the setting sun
As it bounces off the avenue
Turning into gold dust at my feet.
Oh-woh-oh
Carlos and yolanda
Dancing in the hallway
To an old melody
Spanish eyes and soft brown curls
My love, my love
Come to me.
I believe Im in the power of saint lazarus.
And he holds me in his sight
I know that these jitterbug days Im livin,
Well, they wont last for all of us,
But theyll last for a long summer night.
I can feel the fire in her eyes
Tonight, tonight
Under satin summer skies.
The vampires
Ooh-ooh-oo-ooh-ooh-oo
Ooh-woo-oo-oo
Girls
Baby, baby, baby
Be my special one
I seen you move in from across the street
I like the way you walk
I love the way you run
Baby, baby,
No more baby talk
Papi, this aint mayag¨¹ez
This is the island of nueva york
Well go through the projects,
Make-out on the roofs
An count the stars like silver studs on
My . . .
Motorcycle boots
Tengan cuidado con ese tipo.
Ay verdad te digo, ese tipo es tan sucio.
? sucio!
Hernandez
You wastin your time, they dont know what I do
You little ghetto weeds . . . I feel like killin you.
Banana-colored light-skinned spics,
You feel your peel so fine?
Im hernández, the umbrella man,
Your futures locked in mine.
The chaplains and the golden guineas
The red wings and the crowns,
The mighty mau maus,
Those shines from brooklyn,
They want to cut the vampires down
The savage skulls, the fordham baldies,
Theyll treat you like youre piss
From the heart of the barrio, now my brother
We tell them mother fuckers suck on this.
I think we got something to talk about.
Youre a coolie from the turf.
Thats cool, but you dont get no respect around
Here unless you belong to a bopping gang . . .
I mean, you either belong or you get hurt.
Or you could buy some protection from me.
cause if someones got to die
To pay for the shit they done
I believe in an eye for an eye
What you believe in, salvador agrón?
Mr. agrón? se? or agrón?
Sal
I believe Im in the power of st. lazarus
And he holds me in his sight
I believe he watches over us all
Dont tear apart
This satin summer night.
