the tourists
are everywhere in this fair city
eating twisty cones
and walking six deep
on the boulevard of broken dreams
the tourists
are everywhere in this fair city
clogging their arteries at food trucks
stopping to take photographs of buildings
and dudes sleeping on the street
the tourists
are everywhere in this fair city
shopping at the m&m store
at the NBA store
at the NBC store
looking in the windows of tiffany and co.
buying knock-off handbags by the dozen
the tourists
are everywhere in this fair city
carrying big bags up and down 5th avenue
pulling whiney kids through times square
the tourists
are everywhere in this fair city
with their foam statue of liberty hats
and their plastic empire states
the tourists
are everywhere in this fair city
the inbreds
and the euro trash
posing for selfies on the brooklyn bridge
going the wrong way on the D train
joining the protests in union square
and having a picnic in central park
the tourists
are everywhere in this fair city
top of the rock
never forgetting at the 9/11 memorial
the tourists
are everywhere in this fair city
their fat smiling faces sailing the hudson river
their fat asses at a disney show
their fat bodies
sweating in the gotham heat
the tourists
are everywhere in this fair city
with their pocket map hopes and dreams
and i swear
it’s enough to make a man
want to pack up all of his shit
and move
every time
the summer
comes snaking around.
