Lyrics The Tortoise and the Tourist - Modest Mouse
Wake
up,
get
ready
Wake
up,
get
ready
Such
a
wonderful
trip′s
ahead
Well
wake
up,
get
ready
Wake
up,
get
ready
Such
a
wonderful
trip's
ahead
We
get
dressed
as
ghosts
with
sheets
taken
from
the
bed
Inside
our
socks
we
hide
traveler
checks
We
are
tourists
of
the
dead
So
let′s
pack
up,
let's
go
So
let's
pack
up,
let′s
go
So
let′s
pack
up,
let's
go
Let′s
go
There
was
this
tortoise
Its
shell
covered
with
jewels
and
had
been
since
time
began
It
knew
the
world
through
all
its
histories
and
the
universe
and
its
mysteries
One
day
it
came
across
a
man
The
two
were
talking
The
tortoise
offered
to
tell
him
about
the
future
and
how
the
universe
ran
Oh
the
man
killed
the
tortoise,
took
its
shell
and
with
a
song
of
his
lips
walked
off
again
So
let's
walk
off,
let′s
go
So
let's
walk
off,
let′s
go
So
let's
walk
off,
let's
go
So
let′s
walk
off,
let′s
go
Pack
a
lunch,
wander
'round,
toss
the
map
on
the
ground
It
is
inaccurate
anyway
We′ve
been
getting
away,
We've
been
getting
away
We
are
strangers
to
ourselves
We
sneak
out,
drip
by
drip
Through
papercuts
on
our
hands,
day
after
day
Nothing′s
quite
the
same
We
are
tourists
in
our
own
heads
So
let's
walk
on,
let′s
go
So
let's
walk
on,
let's
go
(I
think
I
feel
ready
to
go)
So
let′s
walk
on,
let′s
go
So
let's
walk
on,
let′s
go
I
think
I
feel
ready
to
go
I
think
I
feel
ready
to
go
I
think
I
feel
ready
to
go
I
think
I
feel
ready
to
go
I
think
I
feel
ready
to
go
I
think
I
feel
ready
to
go
