Happyland

It was on a summer night, she says, a year ago today

Packed, the place was packed

The chicos lookin' for some play

He wore a satin shirt and said a prayer to Yemayá

And he was calm and handsome

As they squeezed through to the bar

The girls were in tight dresses, just like sweets in cellophane

Everyone was there

Sabrosón from Spanish Harlem

And luz from Camaguey

In her hand a single rose, and in her mouth a razorblade

Hot, the place was hot

Too many people to be safeWho cared

It was our night

Watch us seize the day

And dance it all away...Bailamos, esa noche, bailamos

In HappylandIt was on a summer night, she says - yes, it was a year ago

Hot, the place was hot

but where else were they gonna go

And then she heard the screams

And saw the smoke come down

And then it really turned into the hottest club in town

She remembers all the firetrucks

And that maldito TV crew

And he, he didn't make it

So, "mi amor, this song's for you"

She's got red shoes on her feet

A nd a red smile on her face

And people say she's loca, to go back into that placeWho cared

This is my night

Watch me seize the day

And dance it all away...Bailaré, esta noche, bailaré

In Happyland
