Joe Jackson - Happyland Lyrics
It was on a summer night, she says, a year ago todayPacked, the place was packedThe chicos lookin for some playHe wore a satin shirt and said a prayer to yemayAnd he was calm and handsomeAs they squeezed through to the barThe girls were in tight dresses, just like sweets in cellophaneEveryone was thereSabrosn from spanish harlemAnd luz from camagueyIn her hand a single rose, and in her mouth a razorbladeHot, the place was hotToo many people to be safeWho caredIt was our nightWatch us seize the dayAnd dance it all away...Bailamos, esa noche, bailamosIn happylandIt was on a summer night, she says - yes, it was a year agoHot, the place was hotBut where else were they gonna goAnd then she heard the screamsAnd saw the smoke come downAnd then it really turned into the hottest club in townShe remembers all the firetrucksAnd that maldito tv crewAnd he, he didnt make itSo, mi amor, this songs for youShes got red shoes on her feetA nd a red smile on her faceAnd people say shes loca, to go back into that placeWho caredThis is my nightWatch me seize the dayAnd dance it all away...Bailar, esta noche, bailarIn happyland
