R.E.M. - The Ascent Of Man Lyrics




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.)
