"Tourist Attraction" lyrics

The Strip is kind of boring
Times Square is disappointing
It works better as a story
I guess

Copywritten heroes
And some off-brand Al Pacinos
Boulevard of broken needles
Add a bow and mass hysteria
Jump in the water's fine

Oh, top of the list of things to try
Thought you were special 'cause you had a long line
Had to go big
Paid for the package
And now I know
Sometimes the bang isn't worth the buck
Lookin' for magic and pushed my luck
But all I got is a cheap souvenir
A picture in plastic that says I was here
At the tourist attraction

Looks can be deceiving
When there's fine print you're not reading
Got the gist and now I'm leaving
No time like the present
To learn the lesson
It's not true 'cause someone said it
Call me cynical, but everyone's a liar

Oh, top of the list of things to try
Thought you were special 'cause you had a long line
Had to go big
Paid for the package
And now I know
Sometimes the bang isn't worth the buck
Lookin' for magic and pushed my luck
But all I got is a cheap souvenir
A picture in plastic that says I was here
At the tourist attraction

Add a bow and mass hysteria
And I fell for the hype
