Song lyrics Wanderlust by REM

Looks like I pulled a fast one
Looks like I went to town
Looks like the world revolves around me
Looks like itīs falling down.

I thought Iīd kicked the traces
I thought the wheels would spin
I thought Iīd jumped the fence and bolted
Looks like Iīm back again

I got my signals crossed.
Itīs overwhelming because
Iīm all alone and I canīt 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.
Itīs overwhelming because
Iīm all alone and I canīt get back
Get back with my wanderlust.

Iīm 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.
Itīs overwhelming because
Iīm all alone and I canīt get back
Get back with my wanderlust.

I got my signals crossed.
Itīs overwhelming because
Iīm all alone and I canīt get back
Get back with my wanderlust.
