Wanderlust

Song available on Around The Sun.

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.

I realy like the track wanderlust. But I must say that this cd is for me the best ever. Because of a sudden illness I had to stay in a hospital for a week. De CD was just releasd. So for a week I listend to it, and believe me, the complet CD became important for me. I like to listen to the whole CD with very mutch fun and graditute. I thank the people from REM for making this, vor me, terrific album. Tanks a lot.
