[00:00.66]julian casablacas - tourist [00:01.50] [00:36.30]i wish that clouds could hold me up [00:41.50]like i thought as a child growing up. [00:48.92]i wish i could sound as soothing as the rainfall [00:54.91]but i am only a drop from the storm. [01:02.77] [01:05.22]i feel like a tourist, out in the country. [01:12.79]once this small world was all countryside. [01:21.35]feel like a tourist in the big city. [01:29.20]soon i will simply evaporate. [01:35.62] [01:46.74]i took the strings up north. [01:49.97]the drums down south. [01:52.84]i take it across to afghanistan, [01:56.63]a long time ago. [01:59.65]shuffling your feet into the next dimension. [02:06.29]soon skyscrapers will be everywhere. [02:13.76] [02:15.83]i feel like a tourist lost in the suburbs. [02:23.89]soon the whole world will be urban sprawl. [02:32.06]feel like a lover out on the ocean. [02:39.36]feel like a tear drop streamin' off your chin. [02:48.95] [03:32.66]some will bet against you, try even to prevent you. [03:38.71]but not many can stop you, man, if you got a perfect plan. [03:45.64]can they possibly try or demand to know why they would doubt you? [03:52.13]in this sand... a thousand generations. [03:58.97] [03:59.35]feel like a tourist out in the desert. [04:06.36]so hot it feels like the devil's breath. [04:14.55]feel like a tourist out in the swampland. [04:22.37]this world is just patches of water and land. [04:30.99]everywhere i go i'm a tourist, [04:38.02]but if you stay with me i'll always be at home. [04:50.90]
