America

[SANTANA, (SHARKS), {TINA}]
Puerto Rico
My heart's devotion
Let it sink back in the ocean (Hahaha)
Always the hurricanes blowing
Always the population growing (Hahaha)
And the money owing (Hahaha)
And the sunlight streaming (Haha)
And the natives steaming (Haha)
I like the island Manhattan (I know you do)
Smoke on your pipe
And put that in! (Heh!)
