Title: The Ascent Of Man
Lyrics The Ascent Of ManSo hesitation pulled me back
I'm stronger when I don't attract
in your eyes I'm a lamb without a rack
and I am getting confused.
I'm a cactus trying to be a canoe.
As you pan for ore
in the desert, floored,
I say to you.
That I could never imagine a place so beautiful
I could never steal your gold away.
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah...
[I try to walk like a big wham bam
I came across like a battering ram
I try to float like a telegram sam
I'm trying to divine you. ]
my book is called "the ascent of man".
I marked your chapter with a catamaran.
The accent's off,
but I am what I am.
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah...
[I try to walk like a big wham bam
I came across like a battering ram
I try to float like a telegram sam
I'm trying to divine you.]
I looked for you, it's my last grandstand.
A motorscootered goat legged pan
figure eighting in quicksand...
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah...
[I try to walk like a big wham bam
I try to float like a telegram sam
I came across like a battering ram
I'm trying to divine you. ]
[I try to walk like a big wham bam
I try to float like a telegram sam
I came across like a battering ram
I'm trying to divine you. ]
so hesitation pulled me back
I'm so in love I don't attract.
And with my hands tied I won't crack
['cause in my mind I called you back.] |
