It barks at no one else but me
like it's seen a ghost
I guess it's seen the sparks a flowing
no-one else would know
Hey man slow down, slow down
idiot slow down, slow down
Sometimes I get overcharged
that's when you see sparks
they ask me where the hell I'm going
at a thousand feet per second
Hey man slow down, slow down
idiot slow down, slow down

Song Info:
"The Tourist" was written by Jonny, who, explains Thom, was "in a beautiful square in France on a sunny day, and watching all theses American tourists being wheeled around, frantically trying to see everything in 10 minutes." Jonny was shocked at how these people could be in a place so beautiful and so special and not realize it because they weren't taking the time to just stop and look around.
Jonny : "Thom didn't play a thing, he just listened. It's quite nervy, with a lot of space. It sounds like the last song on an album."
