Like Castanets |
This city is silver in the moon |
And mountains heaped with sugar spoons |
The click and clatter of my feet |
On lonely crooked cobbled streets |
Like castanets |
Down past the window shutter tie |
The hollow of a haunted night |
It’s raining now out on the beach |
The chit and chatter of my teeth |
Like castanets |
I’m following the coffee trail |
And drink it black and by the bail |
The pesos turn to paper cups |
My fingers tremble at the touch |
Like castanets |
Santa Lucia |
Bella vista |
San Cristobal |
La Moneda |
And on the cable car I climb |
Up to the sacred virgin shrine |
This city’s smothered in the smog |
The snippy snap of wild dogs |
Like Castanets |
Tomorrow is Assumption Day |
I ask them what they celebrate |
Daniello says he can’t explain |
But he’ll be clappin' anyway |
Like castanets |
Oh, like castanets |
