The Tourist |
| 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. |
