Gated Windows

All along these gated windows
Eyes peer out from the dark
From that Caribbean highway
Cold green waves crash my way
I been working it out
Don't you know that I'm leaving
Fast I go, soon I came
Tell me quick about my country
The warm green air in my blood
Is this home? Do you care?

Dancing in hot colmados
Red, white, and blue lights that failed
Tell me 'bout the gated windows
Where mothers yell, children dwell
Wild dogs dance in the air
From that rowdy bodega
We bought rum, guitars strum
Filled our lungs, fuck the vanguard
Tranquilo, hermoso
There was love in the air
Don't you know that I'm leavin'
