"Wilderness Approaching" lyrics - JOHN CALE

Wilderness approaching
Coming on the left
Follow the road signs
Take great care
Smile for the cameras
It's what it's all about
You've crashed the party in a country you cannot afford

Leave the lights on in the front room
And the door unlocked
You want to be sure they see
All that you've got

Wake me up
When we get home
It will be your turn to rest
Take your time with a style
Of chew gum or die
There's a speech on the topic
In the great hall tonight

You've crashed the party in a country you cannot afford
They're changing horses
And moving on

Leave the lights on in the front room
And the door unlocked
You want them to see
All that you've got

Wake me up
When we get home
It'll be your turn to rest

Leave the lights on in the front room
And the door unlocked
You want them to see
All that you've got

Wake me up
When we get home
It'll be your turn to rest
