I'm writing you a letter on hotel? A record of my restlessness before I go to bed On the other side of midnight, on the far side of the world I'm sending out a signal, hoping that you heard I'm a stranger here, I'm only passing through But every place I go leaves it's own tattoo That's how it is, land stone on stone Buildin' little altars by the side of the road I'm writing you a love note, on the center of my palm Little circles and symbols for every day I'm been gone It's all miracles and magic, it's as simple as that Pulling fishes and ignore the like (?) grab us from a hat I'm a stranger here, I'm only passing through But every place I go leaves it's own tattoo That's how it is, land stone on stone Buildin' little altars by the side of the road All the fussin' and the righteous The bewildered and confused All the lost and the lonely We? They're all leanin' into something That they cannot even name And nobody gets outta here without forever bein' changed I'm a stranger here, I'm only passing through But every place I go leaves it's own tattoo That's how it is, land stone on stone Buildin' little altars by the side of the road
