Happyland

"It was on a summer night," she says, "A year ago today"

Packed, the place was packed

The chicos lookin' for some play

He wore a satin shirt and said a prayer to Yemayá

And he was calm and handsome

As they squeezed through to the bar

The girls were in tight dresses, just like sweets in cellophane

Everyone was there, Sabrosón from Spanish Harlem

And Luz from Camaguey

In her hand, a single rose, in her mouth, a razor blade

Hot, the place was hot

Too many people to be safe

She says, "It was our night"

Watch us seize the day

And dance it all away

Bailamos

Esa noche, bailamos

In Happyland

"It was on a summer night," she says, "It was a year ago"

Hot, the place was hot

But where else were they gonna go?

And then they heard the screams

And saw the smoke come down

And then it really turned into the hottest club in town

She remembers all the firetrucks, that maldito TV crew

And he, he didn't make it

So, mi amor, this song's for you

She's got red shoes on her feet

And a red smile on her face

And people say she's loca to go back into that place

She says, "This is my night"

Watch me seize the day

And dance it all away

Bailaré

Esta noche, bailaré

In Happyland

Bailaré

Esta noche, bailaré

In Happyland

Happyland
