Maximo Park - I Recognise The Light lyrics

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.
