Wanderlust (Live in Santa Barbara, CA, 2004)R.E.M.

Songwriter: Mike Mills (R.E.M.) Peter Buck Michael Stipe

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
I got my signals crossed
It's overwhelming because
I'm all alone and I can't get back
Get back with my wanderlust

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
I got my signals crossed
It's overwhelming because
I'm all alone and I can't get back
Get back with my wanderlust

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
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.

R.E.M. were an American rock band from Athens, Georgia, formed in 1980 by singer Michael Stipe, guitarist Peter Buck, bassist Mike Mills, and drummer Bill Berry.

Berry quit the band in April 1997, as they were getting together to record demos for the album Up. He was not replaced on a permanent basis, but the band used an assortment of drummers in his place.
