Tourist

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 of 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 land, a thousand generations Feel like a tourist out in the desert So hot it feels like a 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
