tourist

Lyrics

i wish that clouds could hold me up like i thought as a child growing up, i wish i could sound as soothing as the rainfall, but i am only a drop from the storm, feel like a tourist out in the country, once this whole world was all countryside, feel like a tourist in the big city, soon i will simply evaporate, they took the strings up north, the drums down south, after they crossed afghanistan a long time ago, you're shuffling your feet into the next dimension, soon skyscrapers will be everywhere, i feel like a tourist lost in the suburbs, soon the whole world will be urban sprawl, feel like a land lover out on the ocean, feel like a teardrop streaming off your chin, some will bet against you, try even to prevent you, but not many can stop you man, if you got a perfect plan, can they possibly try - i demand to know why they would doubt you?, in this hand, a thousand generations. feel like a tourist out in the desert, so hot it feels like the devil's breath, feel like a tourist out in the swampland, this world is just patches of water and land, everywhere i go i'm a tourist, but if you stay with me, i'll always be at home
