Under the African sun Or by the light of some Asian moon And it's just my luck The American dream came too soon I drag no anchor I apprehend myself I disappear like dust I am the victim of wanderlust CHORUS: I fall victim to wanderlust I fall victim to wanderlust - I fall victim I can adapt to anything except in a rut I've been stone broke but not poor And I've been all set up I'd decline my legitimate share Because it weighed too much I drag no anchor I apprehend myself I disappear like dust I am the victim of wanderlust CHORUS I was born in the dark facing east but sliding west You liked the storm from the window While I craved it in the flesh I've been in deep trouble But I've never been to jail I always knew just enough To cross the river when the dogs were on my tail Don't drive me to my destination Or the point of no return I've got to see this world alone If I'm ever going to learn I drag no anchor I apprehend myself I disappear like dust I am the victim of wanderlust CHORUS I was born in the dark..... CHORUS
