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

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 describin' how they'd like me
All them wantin' somethin' special
Bring 'em roses, sing them blues

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

MM, ah

I looked full over all the lies and
Appealin' to me, advertising
And I was livin' tight every night, uh

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

Ooh, ah
Ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh
