Latin American Bar Scene
You wore Che on your hat Your black hair came up and hung from the back Framed by the window in the tropical night Stars above you like Christmas lights But you didn't come here to play pool or drink Or talk to the man that offered you his seat And I can't quite decipher the Spanish you speak Tell me, what brought you here–
We are lost, cut loose, and free to roam And there's no path to lead us home Is this just a stepping stone Or are we just lost in South America
A jazz singer wrote at the bar Smoke curled around him in a silver arc Notes of charango blew in from the street He captured the scene in his poetry But he was used to the ambiance A professional by his nonchalance We were like beggars how we breathed and we watched Tell me, what brought you here– Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
We are lost, cut loose, and free to roam And there's no path to lead us home Is this just a stepping stone Or are we just lost in South America
A glass of rum by the pool table fell Three men stood up, a few bystanders yelled The couples that were swaying in time Cleared like fog, they cut like lime As we stepped out of the garden doorway Quickly like others to avoid the fray A homeless man held out his tattered tray
Tell me, where should we go– We are lost, cut loose, and free to roam And there's no path to lead us home Is this just a stepping stone Or are we just lost in South America
