I'm No Marco Polo

Rise in the desert of an antique land
Sunrise shimmer, 24 carat sand
Oh get away, get away, get away

I fall into a hammock underneath the stars
Tail boats ripple, girls in coconut bras
Oh get away, get away, get away

This is so wonderful, why do I wish I wasn't here?
Marco Polo must've never felt any fear
All I ever wanted was an innocent thrill
Now I'm talking to a shrink and collecting these pills
When I'm feeling ill
Oh

On the Khao San Road, I'm not a man but a shell
I have myself convinced that I'm critically unwell
Oh get away, get away, get away

In the Củ Chi tunnels of Vietnam
I find a skin tag. I think that I'm a dead man
Oh get away, get away, get away

This is so wonderful. Why do I wish I wasn't here?
Marco Polo must have had some quality gear
All I ever wanted was an innocent thrill
Now I'm talking to a shrink and I'm dying on this hill
And I think I'm feeling ill

I got a Valium habit and a shattered knee
A needless photo with a maharishi
And I know that it's coming but I don't know when
Soon I'll be going insane again!
Well, life's a bitch, so where's the hitch?
Life's such a bitch that there's gotta be a hitch
Life's a bitch, where's the hitch?
Life's such a bitch so there's gotta be a hitch, no?

Well, I'm no Marco polo
I'm no Marco polo
I'm no Marco polo
I'm no Marco polo
Marco! Polo!
Marco! Polo!
Marco! Polo!
Marco! Polo!
Marco! Polo!
Marco! Polo!
Marco! Polo!
Marco! Polo!
