Child of the Moon

Taking our time before it's used

Making our way in old shoes, sister

Think I'm returning to Peru

I wish that I'd never came here

They can't pronouce my name here

Everyone asks me, "Where's Peru?"

In Peru, we've lengthened the day

In Peru, we've strengthened the dollar

There are mountains piercing our skies

And the ocean's at our shore

I will save up all of my wages

Even retail crumby cosmetics

I will make my passage in stages

As the winter slips away

In Peru, we've lengthened the day

In Peru, we've strengthened the dollar

There are mountains piercing our skies

And the ocean's at our shore

I will save up all of my wages

Even retail crumby cosmetics

I will make my passage in stages

As the winter slips away

There's miles of golden beaches

There's excellent wines and features

Mister, take a week off in old Peru

Penitent monks to stare at

Colonial Dons in old straw hats

Everyone's here in gay Peru, ooh ooh ooh ooh

In Peru, we've lengthened the day

In Peru, we've strengthened the dollar

There are mountains piercing our skies

And the ocean's at our shore

I will save up all of my wages

Even retail crumby cosmetics

I will make my passage in stages

As the winter slips away
