Tourist

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] I feel like a tourist lost in the suburbs Soon our whole world will be urban sprawl Feel like a land lover out on the ocean Feel like a teardrop streaming off your chin [Bridge] 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 Demand to know why They would bow to you In this sand, a thousand generations [Chorus] Feel like a tourist out in the desert So hot it feels like the devil's breath Feel like a tourist out in this swampland This world is just patches of water and land [Outro] Everywhere I go I'm a tourist But if you stay with me I'll always be at home
