satin summer nights
Singer:paul simon
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
spanish eyes and soft brown curls
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 livin'
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
under satin summer skies. ooh-ooh-oo-ooh-ooh-oo
i seen you move in from across the street
this is the island of nueva york
we'll go through the projects
an' count the stars like silver studs on
tengan cuidado con ese tipo. ay verdad te digo
ese tipo es tan sucio. isucio!
you little ghetto weeds. i feel like killin' you. banana-colored light-skinned spies
you feel your peel so fine?
your future's locked in mine. the chaplains and the golden guineas
the red wings and the crowns
those shines from brooklyn
they want to cut the vampires down
they'll treat you like you're piss
from the heart of the barrio
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. 'cause if someone's got to die
to pay for the shit they done
i believe in an eye for an eye
i believe i'm in the power of st. lazarus
and he holds me in his sight
i believe he watches over us all
