Lyrics

When all the twelve Apostles try to ring me on the phone
Take a message but I wouldn'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, well, ah
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, why oh, am I running in a race?
I said, wooh, am I getting any place?
I said, oh, can I make it?
 
I'm a wandering spirit
Yes, I'm a wandering spirit
Oh yes, 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 home
Oh yes
 
I was a glutton at the banquet and I spilt the finest wine
Trod the pyramids and ruins of Angkor
And 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
Oh yes, wandering spirit
Oh yeah, wandering spirit, no escape and no parole
Oh yeah oh yeah, wandering spirit
I- I
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, can I make it?
 
I'm a wandering spirit
Oh yes, wandering spirit
Wandering spirit
Looking for a place to go
Oh yeah oh yeah
Wandering spirit
Wandering spirit
Yeah
No escape, no parole
I'm a lost and lonely soul
