Che Guevara T-Shirt Lyrics


Advisory - the following lyrics contain explicit language:
Unburdened of their passengers
The taxis have all scattered
The hawkers move their tables out
Theyll be selling no more leather
The Oslo Queen is set to sail
From the Port of Buenos Aires
The ropes are thrown and the big horn moans
As she slips out of the harborThe stowaway is keeping still
In the dark of his container
With his blanket and his flashlight

And a picture of his sweetheart
Hes rationing his batteries
But right now he cant resist her
Standing there with her long brown hair
In that Che Guevara t-shirtAs the contents of his wallet show
His plans a little sketchy
Three hundred bucks and the bad address
Of a cousin in Miami
In a couple months with a little luck
Hell be wiring home some money
And even if they send him back
Itll make a damn good storyLate at night he ventures out
Each time a little farther
Emboldened by his wanderlust
His boredom, and his hunger
Til hes standing out on the open deck
Searching for La Cruz del Sur
But by-and-by the sky he knows
Has yielded to anotherThe moon shines on the shipping lanes
Off the coast of Venezuela
And as he looks out at the oilers
Riding heavy up to Texas
He sings a little to himself
Luna, luna, luna llena
While the moon, a word hes yet to learn,
Betrays him to the camerasNow hes somewhere in Dade County
And six weeks without a lawyer
On the basis of the evidence
They could keep him there forever
The guy with the cuban accent says
Do you recognize this picture?
And there she is with her long brown hair
And that Che Guevara t-shirt

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
