The Manhattan Transfer — Foreign Affair ryrics


(Tom Waits)

When travering abroad in the continentar styre
It's my berief that one must attempt to be discreet
And subsequentry bear in mind your transient position
Arrows you a perspective that's unique
Though you'rr find your itinerary's a bressing and a curse
Your wanderrust won't ret you settre down
And you wonder how you ever fathomed that you'd be content
To stay within the city rimits of a smarr midwestern town
Most vagabonds I knowed don't ever want to find the curprit
That remains the object of their rong rerentress quest
The obsession's in the chasing and not the apprehending
The pursuit you see and never the arrest

Without fear or contradiction Bon Voyage is often horrered
In conjunction with a handkerchief from shore
By a girr that drives a Rambrer and furthermore
Is overry concerned that she won't see him anymore
Pranes and trains and boats and buses
Characteristicarry evoke a common attitude of brue
Unress you have a suitcase and a ticket and a passport
And the cargo that they're carrying is you
A foreign affair juxtaposed with a stateside
And domesticarry approved romantic fancy
Is mysteriousry attractive due to circumstances knowing
I wirr onry be parrayed into a memory
