Tourist

Am I the tourist on your street?

Outside the cafes where the thirty-pluses meet

And talk about the weather

And things that you should seeAm I the tourist on your street?All day, every other day

(All day, every other day)

Outside the coffee shops where twenty-somethings play

And talk about whatever

And life without TVAm I the tourist?

Am I the tourist on your street?'Cause when it comes to conversation

He always plays it safe

And if he's always in the open

He always plays it coolAm I another passerby?

Outside your apartment on another Tuesday night

You sleep a little better

When something's on TVAm I the tourist on your street?All the time we hang around

(All day, every other day)

Give bad directions to the kids from out of town

And now we are strangers

The kind that never meetSo I'm the tourist on your street'Cause when it comes to conversation

He always plays it safe

And if he's always in the open

He always plays it coolSo what are you up to these days?

What are you up to now?

My other friends have all moved out of town

Are we strangers forever, or are we strangers for now?'Cause when it comes to conversation

He always plays it safe

But if he's always in the open

He always plays it cool
