"The Wanderlust" lyrics
"The Wanderlust"
Do you still walk the streets at night?
With the wanderlust you fight
Back to the corner
Where we went our separate ways
Well, I'd love to photograph your hand
And shake it for a while
'Cause you learn so much about someone
Brother or a swine
The veins that plow beneath your path
With so many tales to tell
A picture out of focus in
A frame where no one cares
Calm the ocean breeze
Quiet the raging sea
This stormy ship we sail
Is a bottle filled with rage
Do you still walk the streets at night?
With the wanderlust you fight
Back to the corner
Where we went our separate ways
Well, we walked upon the railroad
'Cause the train no longer ran
Where we caught a glimpse of all we missed
From the stars that filled your eyes
With a dollar in your only coat
And a fireball in your hand
You set your sails for better days
Down in South Australia
Dark though it has been
Your old spirit still shines within
These last thirteen years depraved
Of us anything that's worth saying
Do you still walk the streets at night?
With the wanderlust you fight
Back to the corner
Where we went our separate ways
So raise a cheer
To those forgotten years
Back to the corner
Where we went out separate ways
Now the carnival is going home
The ferris wheel is spent
For these roving years of endless jeers
Have dried all that was left
Calm the ocean breeze
Quiet the raging sea
This stormy ship we sail
Is a bottle filled with rage
Do you still walk the streets at night?
With the wanderlust you fight
Back to the corner
Where we went our separate ways

And the walls of my house are so thick

Just let me get some sleep in
Let me remand

To dreams that won't be realized...
