Modelo


You can take 

the man out of Modelo

But you can’t take Modelo

Out of the man

 

Your walls

Reminding their walls


A place of solace

Their rules and restrictions

Equals comfort 

 

You walk the streets as a free man

The prisoner’s your shadow

Sentenced to death

 

That one night 

You hung out from the window

And I danced for you in freedom

Remember?
