Lyrics

v.1
In Panama there is a place on the Atlantic side
With mangrove trees and tropicbirds and water crystal green
Jungles filled with life and sound, where howler monkeys hide
And cloudy skies make way for brilliant colored sunset scenes

Chor:
Find a slice of heaven, a place to make your home
Add a few amenities, satellite tv and phone, and
Clear the trees so the animals and the bugs leave you alone
Pretty soon you?ve made it just like home

v.2
The people here have come from every corner of the world
Some stay because they love the land, some stay cuz land is cheap
Soon the big resort conglomerates begin to build
They rape the land for grand hotels and stealthy urban creep

Chor:
Find a slice of heaven, a place to make your home
Add a few amenities, satellite tv and phone, and
Clear the trees so animals and bugs leave you alone
Pretty soon you?ve made it just like home

Bridge:
We?re drawn to wild beauty
Driven to domesticate
If we don?t end this cycle now
It will be too late?to

Chor:
Find a slice of heaven, a place to make your home
Add a few amenities, satellite tv and phone, and
Clear the trees so animals and bugs leave you alone
Pretty soon you?ve made it just like home
You wanted to make it just like home
And so you made it just like home
