The Tourist

Lyrics

Yes it's back on the road again
 I just got me some new-found friends
 And it's alright, yeah it's alright.
 Flew away at the speed of sound
 I threw up when we touched down
 But I'm alright, I'll be alright.
 New York's bakin' in the sun
 Got the news it just made number one
 Here we go for one more memory
 Way back here in the twentieth century.
 That night in Amsterdam
 You saw me for what I am
 And you found out, yeah you found me out.
 And I knew what I saw in you
 And I still can't believe it's true
 But I'll find out, I'm gonna find out.
 Meanwhile back down on Fifth Avenue
 Raphael just bought some brand new shoes
 Me, I'm wiped out, I'm dead on my feet
 Come a long long way from Baker Street.
 I'm watchin' a night come down
 And we're headin' for one more town
 But it's alright, yeah it's alright.
 Who cares what the night might bring
 Cause we're ready for anything
 So it's alright, yeah it's alright.
 Heading' out across the U.S.A.
 California's still a long long way
 Here we go for one more memory
 Way back here in the twentieth century.
