The Tortoise and the Tourist

Wake up, get ready, wake up, get ready What a wonderful trip's ahead Well, wake up, get ready, wake up, get ready Such a wonderful trip's ahead We get dressed as ghosts With sheets taken from the bed Inside our socks, we hide travelers checks We are tourists of the dead So let's pack up! Let's go So let's pack up! Let's go Well, let's pack up! Let's go Let's go There was this tortoise Its shell was covered in jewels and had been since time began It knew the world through all its histories And the universe and all its mysteries One day, it came across a man The two were talking The tortoise offered to tell him about the future and how the universe ran Oh, the man killed the tortoise, took his shell And, with a song on his lips, walked off again So let's walk off! Let's go So let's walk off! Let's go Let's walk off Let's go So let's walk off Let's go! Pack a lunch, wander 'round Toss the map on the ground It is inaccurate anyways We've been getting away We've been getting away We are strangers to ourselves We sneak out, drip by drip Through paper cuts on our hands Day after day, nothing's quite the same We are tourists in our own heads So let's walk on! Let's go Let's walk on! Let's go Let's walk on! (I think I feel ready to go) Let's go Let's walk on! Let's go [Outro] x2 I think I feel ready to go, I think I feel ready to go I think I feel ready to go
