"The Tourist"
Yes it's back on the road againI just got me some new-found friendsAnd it's alright, yeah it's alright.
Flew away at the speed of soundI threw up when we touched downBut I'm alright, I'll be alright.
New York's bakin' in the sunGot the news it just made number oneHere we go for one more memoryWay back here in the twentieth century.
That night in AmsterdamYou saw me for what I amAnd you found out, yeah you found me out.
And I knew what I saw in you And I still can't believe it's trueBut I'll find out, I'm gonna find out.
Meanwhile back down on Fifth AvenueRaphael just bought some brand new shoesMe, I'm wiped out, I'm dead on my feetCome a long long way from Baker Street.
I'm watchin' a night come downAnd we're headin' for one more townBut it's alright, yeah it's alright.
Who cares what the night might bringCause we're ready for anythingSo it's alright, yeah it's alright.
Heading' out across the U.S.A.California's still a long long wayHere we go for one more memoryWay back here in the twentieth century.
