Back in the day, yo, as we learned 
A man was not considered to be 
Considered to be fully grown 
Has he not gone beyond the hills 
Has he not crossed the seven seas 
(Yeah, seven seas at least!) 
Now all them jokers kept around 
Just like the scarecrows in hometown 
Yeah, scarecrows in hometown 
From screen to screen they're traveling 
But I'm a wonderlust king 

I stay on the run 
(The run!) 
Let me out 
Let me be gone 
In the world's beat up road sign 
I saw new history of time 
New history of time! 

Dadadadada dadadadada dadadadada dadadada oh! 
Dadadadada dadadadada dadadadada dadadada oh! 
Dadadadada dadadadada dadadadada dadadada oh! 
Dadadadada oh! Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah! 

Through Siberian woods 
Breaking up their neck 
(Breaking up their neck!) 
Chinese moving in, building discoteques 
(Building discoteques!) 
Trans-Siberian sex toys and what-not 
Yeah, and why not? 
Well at least it's something different 
From what they got in every other airport 
Ja ne evrei, no koje-chto pohozge 
Sovrat ne dast ni Yura ni Seryozga! 
Simple because I'm not a total gadjo 
Da ja shut, ja tziratch, nu tak stozge? 

I traveled the world 
Looking for understanding 
Of the times that we live in 
Hunting and gathering first-hand information 
Challenging definitions of sin 
I traveled the world 
Looking for lovers 
Of the ultimate beauty 
But never settled in 
Hay-eh-ya, hay-eh-ya, hay-eh-ya 
I am a wonderlust king! 

I stay on the run 
(The run!) 
Let me out 
Let me be gone 
In the world's beat up road sign 
I saw new history of time 
New history of time! 

Dadadadada dadadadada dadadadada dadadada oh! 
Dadadadada dadadadada dadadadada dadadada oh! 
Dadadadada dadadadada dadadadada dadadada oh! 
Dadadadada dadadadada dadadadada dadadada oh! 

And presidents 
And billionaires 
And generals 
They'll never know 
What I have owned 
What I have owned 
Hay-eh-ya, hay-eh-ya, hay-eh-ya 
Hay-eh-ya, hay-eh-ya, hay-eh-ya 

I am a wonderlust king!
