Artist: Absurd Minds| Title: foreign affair
When travelling abroad in the continental style
it´s my belief one must attempt to be discreet
And to subsequently bear in mind your transient
position allows you a perspective that´s unique
And though you´´ll find itinerary´s blessing
and curse
your wanderlust won´t let you settle down
and you´ll wonder how you ever fathomed that
you´d be content to stay within the city limits of a
small Midwestern town
Most vagabonds I knowed don´t ever want to find
the culprit that remains the object of their long
relentless quest
the obsession´s in the chasing and not the
apprehending
the pursuit you see and never the arrest
Without fear of contradiction "bon voyage" is
always hollered in cunjunction with a handkerchief
from shore
by a girl who drives a Rambler and furthermore is
overly concerned that she won´t see him anymore
Planes and trains and boats and busses
characteristic´ly evoke a common attitude of blue
unless you have a suitcase and a ticket and a
passport
and the cargo that their carrying is you
A foreign affair juxtaposed with a stateside and
domestic´ly approved romantic fancy
is mysteriously attractive due to circumstances
knowing it will only be parlayed into a memory
