LOVE this song, though after hearing live versions of this song i believe these are the lyrics, not too different from the original posted: "This city is silver in the moon The mountains heaped with sugar spoons The click and clatter of my feet Along the crooked cobbled streets Like castanets Down past the window shuttered tight The hollow of a haunted night It's raining now out on the beach The chitter-chatter of my teeth Like Castanets I'm following the coffee trail I drink it black and by the bail The pesos turn to paper cups My fingers tremble at the touch Like castanets Across the Mapocho Santa Lucia Barrio Bella vista San Cristobal Across the Mapocho La Moneda La Casa de Neruda 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 just what they celebrate Daniello says he can't explain But he'll be clappin' anyway Like Castanets Ohh…Like Castanets" |
