"Wild" lyrics - SPOON

SPOON
"Wild"

I was reminded every measure
Riding trade winds, buried treasure
I got on fine with modern living
But must I be such a citizen?

[Chorus:]
And the world, still so wild, called to me
I was lost, I'd been kept on my knees

Trippers and askers, they surrounded me
All them describing how they'd like me
All them wanting somethin' special
Bring 'em roses, sing them blues

[Chorus:]
And the world, still so wild, called to me
I'd been caught, I was lost, on my knees

[Instrumental bridge]

I looked full over all the lies and
Appealing to me, advertising
And I was living tight every night, uh

[Chorus:]
And the world, still so wild, called to me
I was lost, I'd been kept on my knees
And the world, still so wild, called to me

[Outro:]
Ooh, ah
Ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh
