Like Castanets

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Verse 4] Santa Lucia Bella vista San Cristobal La Moneda [Verse 5] 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 [Verse 6] Tomorrow is Assumption Day I ask them what they celebrate Daniello says he can't explain But he'll be clappin' anyway Like castanets [Outro] Oh, like castanets
