(Ooh, ooh) na-na-na
(Ooh, ooh) na-na-na-na
(Ooh, ooh) na-na-na-na-na
American buffalo made on the plains
Tall sky crying tears of rain
Something colossal this way strides
And here comes the tourist with his curious eye
Slumbering sidewalks are starting to shake
Leather cat talking 'bout a fox and a snake
Change is coming and we all know why
And here comes the tourist with his head in the sky
Smells like revolution in the air
Feels like revolution everywhere
Love and lovemaking like medicine flow
There are clouds, there are castles in the afterglow
The ramparts of evening all the colors of light
And here comes the tourist engraving the night
Moon's under shadow, the sun's underground
Everybody's looking for next year's sound
Prophets and gurus closing out of the seams
And here comes the tourist recording the scene
Smells like revolution in the air
Feels like revolution everywhere
I stepped outside of my mind (feels like revolution)
And found myself in the land
Where everything is the first of it's kind
Days fall like dominoes down on the street
The change has come, but it's incomplete
A new dark rises as the old one falls
And here comes the tourist photographing it all
Things blow together, things fall apart
The only sure bet is a faithful heart
From the spiritual sun to the trailer park
Time's an imposter but he's all we've got
And here comes the tourist for one more shot
Smells like revolution in the air
Feels like revolution everywhere
Na-na-na
