Tourist Lyrics - Phrazes For The Young - Julian Casablancas

I wish that 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 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 our whole world will be urban sprawl 

feel like a 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 

demand to know why 

they would bow to you 

in this sad a 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 I'm a tourist 

but if you stay with me I'll always be at home
