Travel Clan

First headed west through Winnemucca
Came right back through Leblanc with the truckers
Eritrea and Pakistan
I saw the guidebooks for them foreign lands
Looked for rice bearers at the sailor's church
I looked at weird stuff in an empty French church
Commie ships are always grey
Westwood folks are mighty gay
Liechtenstein has pretty stamps
Herculaneum is always worth a tramp

Oh baby, we're a traveling clan
We've been to everywhere,
we're going back again
The world is changing
it's about this big
Five continents
we've yet to gig
We'll get there
if we happen to live that long

West is east and
north is south
It depends on
where you're coming from
and where you're going
The globe shrinks everyday
psychologically
McDonaldlization spreads
Like a tumor on the sun-worn skin
Sad but true
nothing you can do
Go now the world's about
this small
Go now before it turn into
a shopping mall

Oh baby, we're a traveling clan
We've been to everywhere,
we're going back again
The world is shrinking
it's about this big
Five continents we've yet to gig
We'll get there
if we happen to live that long

Solo

Did a gig in Brazzaville
pulled an all nighter in downtown Saville
Ron on lead
Doug on drums
Mike on throat
Gordon's a humming
Brad's a tootin
He's doing so fine
Ward's recording
we gotta be done by nine
John he's our legal Aide
Planter's Peanuts was hoping that we'd fade
but

Oh baby, we're a traveling clan
We've been to everywhere,
we're going back again
The world is shrinking
it's about this big
Five continents we've yet to gig
We'll get there
if we happen to live that long

Heading south
where the mountains are green
I don't mind if the food is unclean
folks down they there can't pronounce my name
All my work just becomes a bilingual game
I can profit from the high exchange rate
yet to feel the stab of anti-gringo hate
Lovely place,
I make her my home
Bedroll entosis
I have other lands to roam

Oh baby, we're a traveling clan
We've been to everywhere,
we're going back again
The world is changing
it's about this big
Five continents we've yet to gig
We'll get there
if we happen to live that long

Solo

Oh baby, we're a traveling clan
We've been to everywhere,
we're going back again
The world is changing
it's about this big
Five continents we've yet to gig
We'll get there
if we happen to live that long
