Rainin’ In Madrid – Dan Bern – letras

Now that our economy is going to the dogsMaybe we’ll have flamenco music like they’ve always done in spainMaybe we’ll have a champion like rafael nadalFull of passion and the need to prove himself time and againAnd maybe hollywood starts making movies that the world can loveSad and bittersweet and full of painIt’s raining in madrid, tonightIt’s snowing in my head and I’m waiting on my friendsAnd a sign from the gods to come out and play now that ourEconomy is going to the dogsNow that our economy is going to the dogsMaybe we’ll sing and dance and make love like they’ve always done in spainMaybe we’ll be like the folks in argentinaWho know how to laugh and take their showers in the rainAnd maybe hollywood starts making movies that the world can loveSad and bittersweet and full of painIt’s raining in madrid, tonightIt’s snowing in my head and I’m waiting on my friendsAnd a sign from the gods to come out and play now that ourEconomy is going to the dogsFaint dead awayWhat can I sayHip, hip hoorayTomorrow, todayNow that our economy is going to the dogsMaybe we’ll skip the science and the math and all become paintersMaybe we’ll write poems like federico garcia lorcaThrow away our tvs and our cars and dress like quakersAnd maybe hollywood starts making movies that the world can loveSad and bittersweet and full of painIt’s raining in madrid, tonightIt’s snowing in my head and I’m waiting on my friendsAnd a sign from the gods to come out and play now that ourEconomy is going to the dogs
