[00:00:00] Foreign Affair (LP版) - The Manhattan Transfer

[00:00:00] Written by：Tom Waits

[00:00:00] Aaaaaaa

[00:00:07] Aaaaaaa

[00:00:15] When traveling abroad in the continental style

[00:00:22] It's my belief that one must attempt to be discreet

[00:00:31] And subsequently bear in mind your transient position

[00:00:39] Allows you a perspective that's unique

[00:00:46] And though you'll find your itinerary's a blessing and a curse

[00:00:54] Your wanderlust won't let you settle down

[00:01:01] And you wonder how you ever fathomed that you'd be content

[00:01:08] To stay within the city limits of a small midwestern town

[00:01:16] Most vagabonds I knowed don't ever want to find the culprit

[00:01:24] That remains the object of their long relentless quest

[00:01:31] The obsession's in the chasing and not the apprehending

[00:01:39] The pursuit you see and never the arrest

[00:01:52] Without fear or contradiction Bon Voyage is often hollered

[00:02:00] In conjunction with a handkerchief from shore

[00:02:07] By a girl that drives a Rambler and furthermore

[00:02:13] Is overly concerned that she won't see him anymore

[00:02:21] Planes and trains and boats and buses

[00:02:27] Characteristically evoke a common attitude of blue

[00:02:39] Unless you have a suitcase and a ticket and a passport

[00:02:48] And the cargo that they're carrying is you

[00:02:55] A foreign affair juxtaposed with a stateside

[00:03:04] And domestically approved romantic fancy

[00:03:12] Is mysteriously attractive due to circumstances knowing

[00:03:20] I will only be parlayed into a memory
