Satin Summer Nights Lyrics

Satin Summer Nights lyrics

Sal

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.



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 ain't mayag¨¹ez



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.



? sucio!



Hernandez

You wastin' your time, they don't know what I do

You
little ghetto weeds . . . I feel like killin' you.



Banana-colored
light-skinned spics,

You feel your peel so fine? 

I'm hernández,
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 agrón? 

Mr. agrón? se?
or agrón? 



Sal

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.
