Wanderlust

R.E.M. · Around The Sun [2004]

looks like I pulled a fast one

looks like I went to town

looks like the world revolves around me

looks like it's falling down.



I thought I'd kicked the traces

I thought the wheels would spin

I thought I'd jumped the fence and bolted

looks like I'm back again



I GOT MY SIGNALS CROSSED.

IT'S OVERWHELMING BECAUSE

I'M ALL ALONE AND I CAN'T GET BACK

GET BACK WITH MY WANDERLUST.



I had to grab a suitcase

I had to change my clothes

I had to run the shower hot

until the water froze



I brushed against confusion

I wanted time to grow

I want the sticks and stones not to throw me

get back to what I know



I GOT MY SIGNALS CROSSED.

IT'S OVERWHELMING BECAUSE

I'M ALL ALONE AND I CAN'T GET BACK

GET BACK WITH MY WANDERLUST.



I'm searching for a greatness

I smear it on my face

I want to bathe in grape must

swim the length of the milky way

I want it to be brilliant

I want it to be sweet

I want to kiss the astronauts

when they salute to me me me me



I GOT MY SIGNALS CROSSED.

IT'S OVERWHELMING BECAUSE

I'M ALL ALONE AND I CAN'T GET BACK

GET BACK WITH MY WANDERLUST.



I GOT MY SIGNALS CROSSED.

IT'S OVERWHELMING BECAUSE

I'M ALL ALONE AND I CAN'T GET BACK

GET BACK WITH MY WANDERLUST.
