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 livin', 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, 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. isucio!, you wastin' your time, they don't know what! do, you little ghetto weeds. i feel like killin' 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. 'cause 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.
