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 |
