REM - The Ascent Of Man lyrics

rate me

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.]
