The Ascent Of Man |
| So 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 came across like a battering ram |
| I try to float like a telegram sam |
| I’m trying to divine you) |
| So hesitation pulled me back |
| I’m stronger when I don’t attract |
| And with my hands tied I won’t crack |
