R.E.M. - Wanderlust Lyrics






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.

R.E.M. Wanderlust Comments
  1. S.... M....

    I have a rare R.E.M. 7" single for the song "Wanderlust" (b-side The Outsider f. Q-Tip) from the album Around The Sun (2004) It's a red vinyl with red & white sparkles inside but during the manufacturing process some copies had "red sparkles" stuck on the outside making it unplayable. Nobody noticed until after it was sent to stores. After hearing complaints from stores those copies were recalled & sent back to Warner Bros. However i managed to get a copy before it was taken off the shelf.

    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.
