I walk down the staircase,
Magnetic pull.
Back to the other place
That I cannot go.
I'm sending a chopper,
To steal you away.
The pot is full,
Let me take control,
Let me take control.
The pot is full
Of secrets to be told,
Secrets to be told.
Out of orbit
And I always will.
The pot is full,
Let me take control,
Let me take control.
The pot is full
Of secrets to be told,
Secrets to be told
Walk past the Spanish Steps lah lah lah!

==================================================
Well Piazza Di Spagna, aka the Spanish Steps, is an interesting landmark.
It made celebrity news earlier this year when Susan Sarandon admitted that her daughter (Eva Amurri) was conceived on the steps. Might as well call it the Sarandon Steps.
But locals and immigrant hustler types around there know how to make a Euro or more out of you.
In my case during a visit in 2004, I walked past the Spanish steps. Right across the street from the steps on the pavement, was a German shepherd. It was holding a small tin bucket in its mouth. I think the bucket had a sign attached to it, and forgot what it said, but basically the owner trained it to sit there and hold the bucket in its mouth to beg for tourists to drop coins in. So instead of pitying a beggar, the marketing ploy is for hapless tourists to fall victim to such "cuteness". Or maybe it was a petting fee.
That is the secret to be told.....that bucket, or pot...is full of bullchit and dumb tourist money.
Please don't fall for techniques like this. read more
