lyrics

Cartagena
(© Michael Kentish)

Your midday sun so unforgiving
Your random downpour catches us off guard
Your entertainment demands payment

We may not understand each other
Your cobbled streets provide another turn
It's easy to hide 'round your backside of town

Where colonies were founded
And blood lines ended
But now you've been extended
Your big mouth, has brought you all your riches
And sandy beaches
You welcome strangers with your open arms

I know you only want my money
And I can tell you that's completely fine
I just gaze at you most brazen

Outside the walls lie sights aquatic
Your words are spoken most emphatically
Incarcerated shopkeepers will trade

In fish you've never heard of
There's shoals a-plenty
A coconut in half will save this town
Where colonies were founded
And blood lines ended
But now you've been extended
Even though the air is heavy
You welcome strangers with your open arms
