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
