'Cause I can't take the '95 life anymore
'Cause I can't take that nine to five life it's a bore
Alice Winter Wonderland
or
Alice slipped to Wonderland
Alice went to Wonderland
Alice went too wobbly
Alice went to Wonderland
And I'm as happy as a clam.
And I'm as happy as a clown.
I go through lights without a cab
I go through life without a care
I hot rod into that car of mine
I hop right into that car of mine
I kiss em and I hug em,
I meet em on the street
I kiss em and I hug em,
cause to me they're all the same
U2 feat. Johnny Cash's, "The Wanderer"
I stopped outside a church house
Where the citizens lacked a sin.
I stopped outside a church house
Where the citizens like to sit.
I tear open my shirt and throw a rosie on my chest
I tear open my shirt and show her Rosie on my chest
I tear over my shirt and go rosie on my chest
I tear open my shirt and show her Rosie on my chest
I throw over my left and there's Mary on my right
There's Flo on my left and there's Mary on my right
I’m a rumbler
I’m a wanderer
My drive around world
I drive around the world
Oh well, I roam from Chinatown
I go through life without a camp
And I'm as happy as a clown
I with my two fists of ion and I'm going nowhere
Oh well, I roam from town to town
I go through life without a care
And I'm as happy as a clown
I with my two fists of iron and I'm going nowhere
They call me the wrong lover
Yeah, the wrong lover.
They call me the Wanderer
Yeah, the Wanderer.
Well I'm 2/5 divine and I'm going nowhere.
With my two fists of iron and I'm going nowhere.
Well I'm too p*ssed to drive and I'm going nowhere
With my two fists of iron and I'm going nowhere
P*ssed, meaning drunk in British English or angry in American English ... Either way.
Well I'm two-fifths divine.
With my two fists of iron
With my suit pressed and ironed
With my two fists of iron
With my toothless divine
With my two fists of iron
With my two fists of I'm
With my two fists of iron
With my two fists of iron I'm-a-goin' all the way down
With my two fists of iron and I'm goin' nowhere
