Big Day by Yung Wu Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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?"

[Chorus]
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

[Break]

[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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
