The Tortoise and the Tourist
Wake up, get ready
Wake up, get ready
What a wonderful trips ahead
Well, wake up, get ready
Wake up, get ready
Such a wonderful trips ahead
We get dressed as ghosts
With sheets taken from the bed
Inside our socks we hide travelers checks
We are tourists of the dead
So lets pack up
Lets go.
So lets pack up
Lets go
Lets pack up
Lets go
Lets go
There was this tortoise, its shell was covered with jewels
And had been since time began
It knew the world through all its histories
And the universe and its mysteries
One day it came across a man
The two were talking
The tortoise offered to tell him
About the future and how the universe ran
Oh, the man killed the tortoise, took his shell
And with a song on his lips walked off again
So lets walk off
Lets go
So lets walk off
Lets go
So lets walk off
Lets go
So lets walk off
Lets go
Pack a lunch wander round
Toss the map on the ground
It isnt accurate anyways
Weve been getting away
Weve been getting away
We are Strangers to Ourselves
We sneak out
Drip by drip
Through paper cuts on our hands
Day after day
Nothings quite the same
We are tourists in our own heads
So lets walk on
Lets go
Lets walk on
Lets go
Lets walk on (I think I feel ready to go)
Lets go
Lets walk on
Lets go
(I think I feel rready to go)
(I think I feel ready to go)
