Roam Lyrics
[Intro]
I hear a wind
Whistling air
Whispering in my ear
[Verse 1]
Boy mercury shooting through every degree
Oh, girl dancing down those dirty and dusty trails
Take it hip to hip, rocking through the wilderness
Around the world the trip begins with a kiss
[Chorus]
Roam if you want to, roam around the world
Roam if you want to, without wings without wheels
Roam if you want to, roam around the world
Roam if you want to, without anything but the love we feel
[Verse 2]
Skip the air-strip to the sunset
Yeah, ride the arrow to the target one
Take it hip to hip, rock it through the wilderness
Around the world the trip begins with a kiss
[Chorus]
Roam if you want to, roam around the world
Roam if you want to, without wings without wheels
Roam if you want to, roam around the world
Roam if you want to, without anything but the love we feel
[Instrumental Break 02:23-02:51]
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Fly the great big sky, see the great big sea
Kick through continents bustin' boundaries
Take it hip to hip, rock it through the wilderness
Around the world the trip begins with a kiss
[Chorus]
Roam if you want to, roam around the world
Roam if you want to, without wings without wheels
Roam if you want to, roam around the world
Roam if you want to, without anything but the love we feel
[Outro]
Take it hip to hip rock it through the wilderness
Take it hip to hip rock it through the wilderness
Take it hip to hip rock it through the wilderness
Take it hip to hip rock it through the wilderness
Take it hip to hip rock it through the wilderness
Take it hip to hip rock it through the wilderness
Take it hip to hip rock it through the wilderness

Who is the girl with the blonde hair in the video clip
If you mean the one in black with the really long hair slung over her shoulder and the gold necklace, that is singer Cindy Wilson, one of the band’s original members and the sister to founding member and guitarist Ricky Wilson. Sadly, Ricky died of complications from AIDS in 1985, but the band has s...
Heard this is about anal sex. Have the songwriters said anything to that effect?
I think this theory comes from the line about “those dirty and dusty trails” and may get more traction from the image of the banana going through the donut in the video. But the latter could be an image of more pedestrian sex.
Whatever the case, the band has never said anything about the theory, an...
