Santa Maria St.
Hey you
Don't let them get to you
Take these candles where we'll meet
Down on Santa Maria Street
Hey you
Take these flowers but take care
There's only whores and cheats down there
Down on Santa Maria Street
The northern lights, the neon signs
The progress that ruined once quiet nights
Except the corner where we will meet
On Santa Maria Street
Hey now
Plaster chips off Mary's face
Our little nook of weathered grace
Place another candle at her feet
Hey now
This corner they forgot to raze
Or got caught in a guilty phase
I hope they don't remember this place
The northern lights, the neon signs
The progress that ruined once quiet nights
They took the past and sold it back
On restaurant menus and baseball caps
And in this corner by candlelight
And that's where we'll meet
On Santa Maria Street.
Don't let them get to you
Take these candles where we'll meet
Down on Santa Maria Street
Hey you
Take these flowers but take care
There's only whores and cheats down there
Down on Santa Maria Street
The northern lights, the neon signs
The progress that ruined once quiet nights
Except the corner where we will meet
On Santa Maria Street
Hey now
Plaster chips off Mary's face
Our little nook of weathered grace
Place another candle at her feet
Hey now
This corner they forgot to raze
Or got caught in a guilty phase
I hope they don't remember this place
The northern lights, the neon signs
The progress that ruined once quiet nights
They took the past and sold it back
On restaurant menus and baseball caps
And in this corner by candlelight
And that's where we'll meet
On Santa Maria Street.
