"In A Foreign Land" lyrics
"In A Foreign Land"
It was a matter of fact that when I paid all my tax
I held the world in the palm of my hand
And all of my debts were causing me to defect
To a land of bananas and sand
So I ran, yes I ran, yes I ran to a foreign land
Here I am, here I am
Here I am in a foreign land
I'm so glad we made it
I thought we'd never land
I grabbed all my cash
And I decided to dash far away
Far away, far away in a foreign land
Here I am, here I am, here I am in a foreign land
Goodbye to all of the rich man's daughters
Goodbye to my debts. Now, I'm way across the water
Far away, far away in a foreign land
Here I am, here I am, here I am in a foreign land
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
Please tell my mother and all my ex-lovers
That I've finally made the grade
Please tell my debtors and the money collectors
That all of my bills will be paid some day
I'm away, I'm away, far away in a foreign land
Goodbye champagne and the caviar set
I wanna slum and drink all of the rum I can get
I'm away, I'm away in a foreign land
Here I am, here I am, here I am in a foreign land
But I'm all out of my jack and I can't go back
I'm away, far away, far away in a foreign land
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
