Travelogue Lyrics

Finally I've reached New York

Where swarms are thicker than Paris

And while every door exudes jazz

The Manhattan stride invades my marrow

Waking a moment of hope, while caffeine-high in a café

As your eyes gleam, like waves splashing Vancouver

Rambling around is a must

I got infected by wanderlust

Roaming around is for me

By the air or the deep blue sea

Over mountains, through mist, then wing down in Vancouver

Where nude bodies gleam and don't dream of the rats of New York

Here they hear birds chirp in their cafes

And oh, how the sun and glistening waves sink into my marrow

And on Sundays I can relax and drink jazz

Rambling around is a must

I got infected by wanderlust

Roaming around is for me

By the air or the deep blue sea

In Paris I tramp past palaces seeking jazz.

Winter here's a sprinkler, and like the grey moods of Vancouver

But this drizzle won't soak my marrow

And I won't bellow like the old urchins of New York

Perhaps I'll bloom, like Hemingway did

Drinking Pernod, inscribing my blood in the ether of cafes

Rambling around is a must

I got infected by wanderlust

Roaming around is for me

By the air or the deep blue sea
