Tourist Town by Marti Jones Lyrics

Genre: pop | Year: 1988

I'm tempted to hide away
I'm tempted to hide in a tourist town
I'm back on my heels to pray
Falling apart and it lets me down
When I set my sights
On exotic nights

I've never believed in love
I've never believed in a twist of fate
I kicked down the door of love
Nipped at the heels of my heart's fast fate
Going down down down
In this tourist town
As my skin turns brown
In this tourist town

Stealing minutes on the hour
From a watch I bought in France
Wishing seconds were eternal
Doing eons with a glance
If I ever find my heart again
I hid the bars of gold
And fill my empty nights
With all the sorrow I could hold

I'm taking you to my room
I'm taking you to that lonely place
I'm bolting the door on you
I bark at the moon and I hide my face
Going down down down
In this tourist town
As my skin's turned brown
In this tourist town

I'm tempted to hide away
I'm tempted to hide in a tourist town...
