Forever a Tourist

In many travels across this melting pot of a country I have found that every small town has 
it's own cast of characters every group has the ******* who cant handle 
booze.
The party girl who gets crying and wishes she could start all over again.
And the one to busy living this life to give a crap about what you think or how your 
feeling.

After a couple  of weeks it gets to anyone the sense of not belonging.
the constant movement  it eats away at you like rot gut whiskey.
Once even though in agony you so joyfully keep pouring down your throat.

And the conversations become the same are we but playing a game 
saying whatever it takes to get what we want.
But what is it we truley want?

Comfort of a warm body by are side the feeling of flesh apon flesh.
It has to be more than just sex but out here I belive its to feel 
what its like to benormal and for one moment pretend you wont  be 
walking out that door to chase sun once agian.
Living like a pirate apon the land.

Not matter her body's warmth when you leave you never havea chance to
know the bad or the reallity of people.
thats why im forever a tourist.
