Lyrics for Wanderlust

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
