Banana Republic

There's a place in the tropics
Where the sun is truly shining
And in the shade of exotic forests
Imagine how good it feels

The crazies that the world can't stand
We gather at nightfall
Spinning around a possible dream
A love that couldn't happen

And while the world stays
Traveling the same path
Here we are, round and round
Chasing away the melancholy
We catch tears on the fly
We drink them with wine and honey
And we learn the laughter of the comedian
And save our skin that way

There's a country in the tropics
Where sometimes the cold is deadly
When a soul truly gets sick
From a lack of freedom

There we give it two wings
And teach it to fly again
And suddenly the sun appears
Warming up the sky again

And while the world stays...
