He asked me

"So where have you been?"

Let me think now, let me see

I stood once where

Hitler's feet, had stood

When he made a speech in Nuremberg in '38

He tried to build the perfect race, he said

"Black men ain't gonna run alongside our perfect sons" There's Dallas to the library

The place they ended Kennedy

I stood were Oswald took his shot

In my opinion there's a bigger plot

Costner's back and to the left

The picket fence, the better bet

Paris came and summer went

The tunnel's now a flower bed The famous turf that made Geoff Hurst

The vodka stops to quench my thirst

Golden Gate stroke Alcatraz

And the fat man failed to get us passes

Jimmy's corner in Raging Bull

De Niro's jokes and bottle pills

Elvis tales from Mr. Wood

Would any Richard Burton if you could Tourists stare at tourist stops

One more picture, one more God

Another top up for a change

It makes you think, it makes you sane

Talking more about yourself

There's a mirror to have a check

Checks are always passing through

Some depart but a lot come too Restaurant talk or pick your teeth

You bite your tongue, I'll chew your meat

Sleep or drink or drink to sleep

And one more week and we'll meet

We talk of what we haven't done

Since we departed back a month

We argue while we have to shout

All in all it's nice to be out
