I wish that clouds could hold me up   like I thought as a child, growing up   I wish I could sound   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      the streams up north   the drums down south   they take across 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 our whole world will be urban sprawl   feel like a 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   demand to know why   they would bow to you   in this sad a thousand generations      feel like a tourist out in the desert   somehow it feels like the devil's breath   feel like a tourist out in this swampland   this world is just of water and land      everywhere I go I'm a tourist   but if you stay with me I'll always be at home
