REM – 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 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)
