R.E.M. lyrics : "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.)
