“Uniquely bonkers”! Lovely, though.
Being a non-native English speaking person, I can’t make out every word. Could anyone post the lyrics, please?

Here’s my best effort to transcribe the lyrics myself, I hope someone else can correct my mistakes and fill in the blanks…

The Kanchenjunga demon
Wild man

We found footprints in the snow
The schoolmaster of Darjeeling said
We saw you by the Tenboche Monastery
You were playing in the snow

You climbed up on the roof
Roof of the world
They were pulling down up the road to …
Up and down the mountains
They want to know you

Run away, run away

We found footprints in the snow
We found your footprints in the snow
We brushed them all away
From the sheperds of Annapurna
To the Rinpoche of Xinghai
Sheperds from Mount Kailash to Himachal Pradesh
Found footprints in the snow
You’re not a langur monkey,
Nor a big brown bear
You’re the wild man

They want to hunt you down

I do now understand why she wore tibetan dress on the promo-photos from DC.I think she must have had a trip over there as she mentions all these places around and in Tibet

Complete, corrected lyrics, as per The Forum:
“ They call you an animal
The Kanchenjunga Demon
Wild man
Metoh, Kangmi
Lying in my tent
I can hear your cry
Echoing ’round the mountainside
You sound lonely
While crossing the Lhakpa La
Something jumped down from the rocks
In the remote Garo Hills by Dipu Marak
We found footprints in the snow
The schoolmaster of Darjeeling said
We saw you by the Tengboche monastery
You were playing in the snow
You were banging on the doors
You climbed up on the roof
Roof of the world
You were pulling up the rhododendrons
Loping down the mountains
They want to know you
They will hunt you down
Then they will kill you
Run away, run away
Run away
While crossing the Lhakpa La
Something jumped down from the rocks
In the remote Garo Hills by Dipu Marak
We found footprints in the snow
We found your footprints in the snow
We brushed them all away
From the Sherpas of Annapurna
To the Rinpoche of Qinghai
Shepherds from Mount Kailash to Himachal Pradesh
Found footprints in the snow
You’re not a langur monkey,
Nor a big brown bear
You’re the wild man
They say they saw you drown
In the Rongbuk glacier
They want to hunt you down
You’re not an animal
The lamas say
You’re not an animal”

Looks like you’re about spot on there – and you obviously have access to the full track, not just the radio edit I’m listening to. The extra verses add o the sense of the song. Just love the choruses ….

I could be wrong, but it sounds like “They call ‘him’ an animal. Also, Lamas would be capitalised, I think.

The Disco naivete tumblr web site with the actual long playing version of Wildman has already registered around 5600 hundred plays by early this afternoon, October 11 2011. If that number stayed consistent during the year that would be 1.8 million plays. Its an interesting mark achieved from a web site that is not as promoted and well known as the you tube versions or other music search engines.
