[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]
