San Vicente

American heart
I woke up from a strange dream
A taste of glass and cut
A flavor of chocolate
In the body and in the city
A taste of life and death
American heart
A taste of glass and cut

Waiting in the long line
And the black body forgot
I was in San Vicente
The city and its lights
I was in San Vicente
The women and the men
American heart
A taste of glass and cut

The hours didn’t count
And what was dark turned to night
While we were waiting
I was in San Vicente
While it was happening
I was in San Vicente
American heart
A taste of glass and cut
