lyrics

Give me rhyme for no reason
Give me the world for a start
Give me all the treason you might carry in your heart
Give me life fantastic
Get me over the hill
Until the day I go, gimme chills


Give me seas of blue waves
Tangled round my hands
Give me sand and soft shoes
Evenings with the band
Sing me songs so classic, like cherry cola thrills
Lips on glass, not plastic
I know you will

Give me trial without jury
Give me Imelda Marcos’s shoes
Give me another century to make it up to you
Hear of the Sangley rebellion?
Some say twenty thousand killed
16 and 03, gimme chills

Give me Dewey in Manila
Give me the Pearl of the Orient
Give me the USS Olympia, nine ships heaven sent
Skype me Christmas eve from Doha
Toast me New Year’s from Crown Hill
And if we never get back home, gimme chills

Give me Lopez de Legazpi
From Jalisco to Cebu
Make me your religion
I’ll watch over you
Dream of Spanish autumns
From New Granada to old Castile
Over all them miles, gimme chills

Give me rhyme for no reason
Give me your balikbayan box
Give me Coca-Cola, Chuck Taylors, and an Apple watch
Give me your Asian manhood
Give me Duterte’s sober will
Black flags in Marawi, gimme chills
