When all the twelve Apostles try to ring me on the phone Take a message but I won't return their call For I have no eyes to see him and I thought I lost my way And I know I've lost the keys to your door
And I climbed the highest mountain and I looked down on the sea And I saw a ship a-sail to the shore I took a passage to the East and I journeyed to the West I made love from Battambang to Baltimore
I said, oh, am I running in a race I said, oh, am I getting anyplace I said, oh, can I make it
I'm a wandering spirit I'm a wandering spirit I'm a wandering spirit I'm a wandering spirit, yes I am a restless soul I'm a wandering spirit, there's no place that I can call my own
I was a glutton at the banquet and I spilt the finest wine Trod the pyramids and ruins of Angkor I kissed the Mona Lisa and I breakfasted with kings And I touched the nerves of nature in the raw
I said, oh, am I running in a race I said, oh, take that smile right off your face I said, oh, I can't make it
I'm a wandering spirit I'm a wandering spirit I'm a wandering spirit, no escape, no parole I'm a wandering spirit I'm a wandering spirit I'm a wandering spirit, there's no place that I can call my home
I said, oh, am I running in a race I said, oh, take that smile right off your face I said, oh, I can't make it
I'm a wandering spirit I'm a wandering spirit I'm a wandering spirit, looking for a place to go
I'm a wandering spirit I'm a wandering spirit I'm a wandering spirit, no escape, no parole I'm a wandering spirit, I'm a lost and lonely soul
