Rainin' In Madrid Lyrics

by Dan Bern

(Verse)
Now that our economy is going to the dust
Maybe we'll have flamenco music
Like they've always done in Spain
Maybe we'll have a champion
Like Rafael Nadal
Full of passion and the need

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e93161-dan_bern~rainin_in_madrid_lyrics.html ]

(Chorus)
And maybe Hollywood starts
Making movies that the world can love
Sad and bittersweet and full of pain
It's rainin' in Madrid tonight
Snowing on my head
I'm waiting for my friends
And a sign from the gods
To come out and play
Now that our economy is going
To the dust

(Verse)
Now that our economy is going to the dust
Maybe we'll sing and dance and make up
Like they've always done in Spain
Maybe we'll be like the folks in Argentina
They know how to laugh and take their
Showers in their rain


(Chorus)
And maybe Hollywood starts
Making movies that the world can love
Sad and bittersweet and full of pain
It's rainin' in Madrid tonight
Snowing on my head
I'm waiting for my friends
And a sign from the gods
To come out and play
Now that our economy is going
To the dust

(Bridge)
Fainted wound
What can I say
Hip hip parade tomorrow,today

(Verse)
Now that our economy is going to the dust
Maybe we'll skip the science and the math
And all the campaigners
Maybe we'll write poems like
Federico Garcia Lorca
Throw away our TV's and our cars
And dress like quakers


(Chorus)
And maybe Hollywood starts
Making movies that the world can love
Sad and bittersweet and full of pain
It's rainin' in Madrid tonight
Snowing on my head
I'm waiting for my friends
And a sign from the gods
To come out and play
Now that our economy is going
To the dust
