Julian Casablancas - Tourist lyrics

rate me

I wish air clouds could hold me up

like I thought as a child, growing up

I wish I could sound

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

the streams up north

the drums down south

they take across afganistan

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 our whole world will be up in sprawl

feel like a lover along 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

demand to know why

they would bow to you

in this sad thousand generations

feel like a tourist out in the desert

somehow it feels like the devil's breath

feel like a tourist out in this swampland

this world is just of water and land

everywhere I go are the tourists

but if you stay with me I'll always be around
