Maximo Park - I Recognise the Light Тексты

I visit South America via a dead
man's words: undercover priests
and barren parks.

I visit through a different man's
images, exercising in his underwear,
laminating the past.

I've never been to Mexico City,
but I recognise the light.

I've never been to Santiago
its history keeps me up at night.

People sell mobile phone holsters
in shaded kiosks in an urban sprawl
that moves at a crawl.

I once took a European night train,
but now I wait for something to
enter the frame.
