We got off the plane in the cold, cold rain Lost track of the hour, lost track of the day We were very far away from anywhere we'd been before We got on a bus and we went to the city Got off at a stop because we liked the name We were in for an adventure And that's all we knew for sure And we walked until we couldn't walk no more Jet lag and sore feet led us to the door Of an expensive noisy bed Where we could rest our heavy heads We slept away the rest of the day And well into the night And we woke up with a hunger for life Well before the sun rised We didn't have money to ride the underground So we walked the miles and miles of this town When night fell like a rock we realized We were never gonna find a patch of open ground And the rain was comin' down And the trains were shuttin' down SongtexteWe were worn out, wet and lost There was no shelter to be found We spent over a week of our budget On a taxi and a bed And we made plans at night to escape This expensive wonderland We would set out for the wild We would see what was beyond We would sleep above the soil And we would travel by our thumbs And written above my hostel bed In black marker it said "There's a light And it never goes out" We didn't have a clue what we were doin' We didn't even know where we wanted to go The next day we took the tube all the way Out to the end of the line It took us five hours to find a place to stand We stuck out our thumbs, we raised our hands It was rainin' hard again But we were not surprised No one wants to pick you up When you're soakin' wet It was hard not havin' second thoughts About goin' on this trip And we ate the rest of our hostel bread Under a dark, damp underpass We watched the cars go past The sun was sinking fast But salvation came at last In a little blue hatchback And he took us a few miles down the road The day was almost over It was hard not to give in We had made it outta the city We were thinkin' about givin' up and settin' up our tent But a Jeep pulled over then And he told us to get in He said his name was Nick Right away he felt just like a friend And he took us to some land Where some people live on buses Invited us to stay the night And we could not refuse We got a bus of our own And it had a soft, warm bed We built a little fire And we dried our soaking shoes And we slept, yeah we slept Just like little babies The next day at Stonehenge We couldn't afford to get in We thought it would be free, We were surprised to see the fence This day would set the theme Of this trip for you and me We could pay to see the sights of Europe Or we could choose to eat And we pressed on to an old Roman city And we made it before night We broke down and bought some fries Just so we could get dry And curse the sky, curse the sky, curse the sky It rains all the time We found a spot to pitch our tent It was our first night in it The rain soaked in, the ground was cold It sank into my bones And we decided that it was way too cold To keep goin' the way we had planned to go And that night we agreed that we would turn around We'd head for warmer ground, we'd start makin' our way south Oh you can't get lost if you've got no place to go You can't take a wrong turn if you're not on your way home And we realized just how free we really were Aus Songtexte Mania
