Tom Waits - Foreign Affair |
Tom Waits when travelling abroad in the continental style it's my belief one must attempt to be discreet allows you a perspective that's unique and subsequently bear in mind your transient position though you'll find your itinerary's a blessing and a curse and you'll wonder how you ever fathomed that you'd be content your wanderlust won't let you settle down to stay within the city limits of a small midwestern town most vagabonds i knowed don't ever want to find the culprit that remains the object of their long relentless quest the obsession's in the chasing and not the apprehending the pursuit you see and never the arrest in conjunction with a handkerchief from shore by a girl that drives a rambler and furthermore planes and trains and boats and buses is overly concerned that she won't see him anymore without fear of contradiction bon voyage is always hollered characteristically evoke a common attitude of blue unless you have a suitcase and a ticket and a passport and the cargo that they're carrying is you it will only be parlayed into a memory a foreign affair juxtaposed with a stateside and domestically approved romantic fancy is mysteriously attractive due to circumstances knowing |
