Wonderlust King

Wonderlust King - Gogol Bordello


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!

A Little Piece

A Little Piece - The Jezabels


There's a cold easy glow, dancing over our street
I Could have chased you down, I could have held your love
But wouldn't you think me weak?
Of All I should know how the streets come and go
And you chased the kaleidoscope dream
Stranger, baby, always keep me in your sweet memory

A biting cold, precious calling
Drown me under our street
Perfect hips, perfect hips,
She was perfect lips
Pieces of your heart, splattered on the cliff

We go home, watch a movie
Tell me can you feel the beat?
Getting worse, getting worse, she was
Letting those feeling loose, she was becoming a monster

She drew the line in the mind, she was done
Holding on

Look at me, can't you see I'm in love
Hold me tight, there you got it
And did you find, that you like
A little piece of cherry pie,
Hot from the oven, from the oven.

And it was, who let the girl out?
(Let the dog in)
Let the girl out?
Don’t you miss me the way I miss you
Sailor, sailor, sailor, I'm sending birds to watch over you

What you see
how did we use to love
Hold me tight,
There, you got it.
And all you need, honestly,
Is a little piece of cherry pie
Hot from the oven.

On your knees
face me,
cherry pie,
baby.

On your knees,
face me,
cherry pie,
baby.
