Wilhelmsburg

Sivan from Brooklyn is staring at her space grey iPhone
looking for the Rua da Glória
while Josh is in an Uber heading downtown
he's gonna meet her at the airb'n'b

and it's raining in Lisbon
down on the streetlights, the bakeries and tram cars
and I'm just waiting for my ticket
to take me back to where I can see the night stars

Dragging your suitcase down cobblestone streets
the wheels they make a terrible sound
checking directions on Google maps
it's a normal Thursday evening in a tourist town, but ..

I'm going back, I'm going home to Wilhelmsburg
so put the kettle on and meet me at the front door, love
cause I'm heading out I'm diggin' deep down inside
I've had enough of the global travellers

Tom from Newcastle is on a Ryan Air flight
that cost less than the Starbucks coffee he had at the airport in London
and its so lonely in Barcelona
but just like the folks at Plata Bar he's only passing thru

Trawling his Pierre Cardin's down cobblestone streets
the wheels they make a terrible sound
he's posting pictures on his Instagram feed
it's just a normal Friday nite in this tourist town, so ..

I'm going back, I'm going home to Wilhelmsburg
so put the kettle on and meet me at the front door, love
cause I'm heading out I'm going deep down inside
I'm so tired of the digital nomads

I'm driving back, I'm going home to Wilhelmsburg
so leave the kettle on and meet me at the front door, love
cause I'm heading home I'm going deep down inside
I've had enough of the global travellers.
