Spanish Rice (The Gringo Song) - Aaron Tinjum and the Tangents

[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
