lyrics

The mists drift across us
from where a naked Apollo stands.
And I am slain like the Minotaur
but not in Theseus’s hands.
Is it these aging monuments
that make a place, a place?
Or do they mark scant history
while the rest is erased?

Now, you’ve seen the tourist attractions,
what else would you like to do?
You’ll be back on a plane in a few days,
so let’s not waste our precious time, no.

Attraction by proximity;
you’re alone and far from home.
Longing for attachment;
just someone to hold.
Attraction by proximity,
I’ve been so lonely lately.
But now I am warm
as you are warm.

But it’s just tourist attraction,
this won’t last too long at all.
You’ll be back on a plane in a few days
and you won’t feel the urge to call.
