Lyrics[]

Back in the day, yo, as we learned
A man was not considered to be
Considered to be fully grown
Has he not gone-a 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 travelin'
But I'm a wanderlust king

I stay on the run (Yeah, 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...

Da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da
Oh!

Da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da
Oh!

Da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da
Oh!

Da-da-da-da-da
Oh!
Why-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi

Through Siberian woods
Breaking up their neck (Yeah, breaking up their neck)
Chinese moving in building discotheques (Yeah, building discotheques)
Trans-Siberian sex toys and whatnot
Yeah, and why not?
Well at least it's something different
From what they got in every other airport

Я не еврей, но кое-что похоже
Соврать не даст ни Юра, ни Сережа!
Simply because I'm not a total gadjo
Да я шут, я трюкач, ну так что же?

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

Ay-yay
Ah-ay-yay
Ah-ay-yay
Ah-ay-yay
Ah
I am a wanderlust king!

I stay on the run (Waa!)
Let me out
Let me be gone
In the world's beat-up road sign (Ring-da-ding-ding)
I saw new history of time (Waa!)
New history of...

Da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da
Oh!
Ay!

Da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da
Oh!

Da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da
Oh!

Da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da
Oh!

And presidents
And billionaires
And generals
They'll never know
They'll never know
What I have owned
What I have owned
Ay-yay
Da-da-yay
Da-da-yay
Da-da-yay
Da
Da-da-yay
Da-da-yay
Yay

I am a wanderlust king!
