Satin Summer Nights

I been sleeping on the roof of my building

It's 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 i'm in the power of saint lazarus

And he holds me in his sight

I know that these jitterbug days i'm living

Well, they won't last for all of us

But they'll last for a long summer night

I can feel the fire in her eyes

Tonight, tonight

Under satin summer skies

Ooh-ooh-oo-ooh-ooh-oo

Ooh-woo-oo-oo

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 ain't mayaguez

This is the island of nueva york

We'll go through the projects

Make-out on the roofs

And count the stars like silver studs on

My...

Motorcycle boots

Tengan cuidado con ese tipo

Ay verdad te digo, ese tipo es tan sucio

Isucio!

You wasting your time, they don't know what! Do

You little ghetto weeds... I feel like killing you

Banana-colored light-skinned spies

You feel your peel so fine?

I'm hernandez, the umbrella man

Your future's 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

They'll treat you like you're 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

You're a coolie from the turf

That's cool, but you don't 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

Because if someone's got to die

To pay for the shit they done

I believe in an eye for an eye

What you believe in, salvador agron?

Mr. Agron? Senor agron?

I believe i'm in the power of st. Lazarus

And he holds me in his sight

I believe he watches over us all

Don't tear apart

This satin summer night
