				<l>Do you think this is a sad day</l>
				<l>    a sad night</l>
				<l>full of tequila  full of el dorado</l>
				<l>    full of banana solitudes</l>
			</lg>
			<lg>
				<l>And my chorizo face a holiday for knives</l>
				<l>    and my arching lips  a savannah for cuchifritos</l>
				<l>and my spit curls a symbol for you</l>
				<l>    to overcharge  overbill  oversell me</l>
				<l>these saints  these candles</l>
				<l>    these dented cars  loud pipes</l>
				<l>no insurance and no place to park</l>
				<l>    because my last name is Cortez</l>
			</lg>
			<lg>
				<l>Do you think this is a sad night</l>
				<l>    a sad day</l>
			</lg>
			<lg>
				<l>And on this elevator</l>
				<l>    between my rubber shoes</l>
				<l>in the creme de menthe of my youth</l>
				<l>    the silver tooth of my age</l>
				<l>the gullah speech of my one trembling tit</l>
				<l>full of tequila  full of el dorado</l>
				<l>    full of banana solitudes you tell me</l>
				<l>i use more lights  more gas</l>
				<l>    more telephones  more sequins  more feathers</l>
				<l>more iridescent head-stones</l>
				<l>    you think i accept this pentecostal church</l>
				<l>in exchange for the lands you stole</l>
			</lg>
			<lg>
				<l>And because my name is Cortez</l>
				<l>    do you think this is a revision</l>
				<l>of flesh studded with rivets</l>
				<l>    my wardrobe clean</l>
				<l>the pick in my hair</l>
				<l>    the pomegranate in my hand</l>
				<l>14th street  delancey street  103rd street</l>
				<l>    reservation where i lay my skull</l>
				<l>the barrio of need</l>
				<l>    the police state in ashes</l>
				<l>drums full of tequila  full of el dorado</l>
				<l>    full of banana solitudes say:</l>
				<l>Do you really think time speaks english</l>
				<l>    in the mens room</l>
