Taco man shut down
Mariachi, flamencoLyrics
[INTRO]
The streetlights flicker, the moon shines bright,
I venture out searching for a taste tonight.
Where's the joy that used to be here?
I walk the quiet path, fueled by hope and fear.
[VERSE 1]
The street is quiet, the air is cool,
The midnight hour, my usual rule.
I walk with hope, my stomach bare,
To where the street tacos fill the air.
[CHORUS]
Street tacos, oh where have you gone?
El sabor en la noche, it feels so wrong.
Wrap me in flavors, let my heart sing,
But tonight I’m alone—no joy that you bring.
[VERSE 2]
But tonight, the corner is cold and still,
No sizzling grill, no hands to fill.
Warm tortillas, spiced just right—
They’re always here, except for tonight.
[CHORUS]
Street tacos, oh where have you gone?
El sabor en la noche, it feels so wrong.
Wrap me in flavors, let my heart sing,
But tonight I’m alone—no joy that you bring.
[BRIDGE]
The laughter echoes in my mind,
Memories of moments left behind.
Where could they be, all the tasty dreams?
In the silence, a hunger screams.
[VERSE 3]
My heart sinks low, I stand alone,
The emptiness chills me to the bone.
Where are the flavors, the lights, the sound?
Only silence meets me, no crowd around.
[CHORUS]
Street tacos, oh where have you gone?
El sabor en la noche, it feels so wrong.
Wrap me in flavors, let my heart sing,
But tonight I’m alone—no joy that you bring.
[OUTRO]
I waited all day for this simple delight,
But now I am lost in the quiet night.
So sad, so anxious, I long for the fare,
But the street tacos are just not there.
Oh street tacos, come back once more,
Restore the flavors that I adore.
