Like a Tourist
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I saw your movie tonight
I thought you were pretty good
I'm so happy that you're doing what you want to
You go to your favorite dark place
Think about the auto-da-fé
Unicorns eating baby meat
There's a dragon rape if you want one
One's the loneliest number
Smoke hood Melion
Female erection
(She was the archetype)
You fetishize the archetype
Don't treat me like a tourist
Let's stay high on a negative wave
And paint it black just like the good times
Don't treat me like a tourist
Let's stay high
They break our hearts like its our birthdays
Soak us in animal blood
I want somebody to frisk me
I want this night to distort me
But I didn't come here just to see you dancing
I came to see you ride my bike
Well that's the you I think I really like
Anyways, I'm crippled inside
Don't treat me like a tourist
Let's stay high on a negative wave
And paint it black just like the good times
Don't treat me like a tourist
Let's stay high on a negative wave
And paint it black just like the good times
When we were passengers
Don't treat me like a tourist
Lets stay high
They break our hearts like its our birthdays
Soak us in animal blood
