lyrics

[Verse 1]

I saw you at Sagrada Familia
something in your swagger was so similar
to a girl I used to know
to a love I used to hold

[Chorus]

I still remember those nights
inside your Gaudi room
with your tambourine on the wall
and Spanish Rice you said
was not actually from Spain
what a gringo thing for me to say

[Verse 2]

I saw you at Casa Mila
something in your fragrance felt familiar
but you did not know me at all
no, you did not know me at all

[Chorus]

But I still remember those nights
inside your Gaudi room
with your Joan Miro on the wall
and Spanish Rice you said
was not actually from Spain
what a gringo thing for me to claim

[Verse 3]

I fell on down in Valencia
in a fiery fiesta so peculiar
they torched effigies of your face
my burning desire displaced

[Chorus]

But I still remember those nights
inside your Gaudi room
with Las Fallas flames fanning through
and Spanish Rice you said
was not actually from Spain
what a gringo thing for me to sing
