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.]
