Spanish Rice (The Gringo Song) 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
