[Verse 1]
I'm reminded every measure
Ridin’ trade winds, buried treasure
I get on fine with modern living
But must I be such a citizen?

[Chorus]
When the world, still so wild, calls to me
I've been lost, I've been kept on my knees (All night)

[Verse 2]
Trippers and askers, they surround me
All them describin’ how they'd like me
All them maskin' somethin' special
Bring 'em roses, sing them blues

[Chorus]
And the world, still so wild, calls to me
I've been caught, I've been lost, on my knees

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Verse 3]
I looked full ovеr all the lies and
Appealing to mе, advertising
Meanwhile I'm living tight every night, um
[Chorus]
And the world, still so wild, calls to me
I’ve lost, I’ve been kept on my knees, yeah
And the world, still so wild
