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
