Nica Libres At Dusk

Door is locked, my gums are bleeding
Outside she reads, outside she's reading
The evacuation procedure out loud
Clothes are off, my health receding
Somewhere she dreams, somewhere she's dreaming
The Caribbean Nica Libres at dusk

While the faithful dispose of a generation
And all of the mountains whisper knowingly
I order a Colada and sit, count my dollars
And watch eagles soar in circles
Perpetually

Door is locked, my gums are bleeding
Outside she reads, outside she's reading
The evacuation procedure out loud
Clothes are off, my health receding
Somewhere she dreams, somewhere she's dreaming
The Caribbean Nica Libres at dusk

While the faithful dispose of a generation
And all of the mountains rumble knowingly
I order a Colada and sit, count my dollars
And watch eagles soar in circles
Perpetually

Forever, forever such a beautiful thing

Now I'm older
The knock over my shoulder
I know what is there in front of me
Ten Marlboro cigarettes
The rolled butts into the bottles
Today I will stand at the sea
Turn my eyes in front of me

Now, is there a now?
