时长: 03:56
When traveling abroad in the continental style[00:00:15]
It's my belief one must attempt to be discreet[00:00:22]
And subsequently bear in mind your transient position[00:00:31]
Allows you a perspective that's unique[00:00:39]
And though you'll find your itinerary's a blessing and a curse[00:00:46]
Your wanderlust won't let you settle down[00:00:54]
And you wonder how you ever fathomed that you'd be content[00:01:01]
To stay within the city limits of a small Midwestern town[00:01:08]
Most vagabonds I've known don't ever want to find the culprit[00:01:16]
That remains the object of their long relentless quest[00:01:24]
The obsession's in the chasing and not the apprehending[00:01:31]
The pursuit you see and never the arrest[00:01:39]
Without fear or contradiction bon voyage is always hollered[00:01:52]
In conjunction with a handkerchief from shore[00:02:00]
By a girl that drives a rambler and furthermore is overly[00:02:07]
Concerned that she won't see him anymore[00:02:15]
Planes and trains and boats and buses[00:02:22]
Characteristically evoke a common attitude of blue[00:02:27]
Unless you have a suitcase and a ticket and a passport[00:02:39]
And the cargo that they're carrying is you[00:02:48]
A foreign affair juxtaposed with a stateside[00:02:56]
And domestically approved romantic fancy[00:03:04]
Is mysteriously attractive due to circumstances knowing[00:03:11]
It will only be parlayed into a memory[00:03:19]
