Wanderlust - R.E.M.

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
