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
