If men came from Venus 

and women came from Mars 

then I'd be lunching with my boyfriends 

while you girls talked about cigars 

but that's not how it happened 

evolution took a different turn 

we may be creatures with some unique features 

but we've still got a lot to learn 



We made it nearly 20 centuries 

but your monkeys with Ph.D.s 

spun a web of communications 

but it's all still a tangle to me 



I can't tell the spiders 

from the dangling flies and moths 

I feel like like some outsider 

who seems to have his wires all crossed 



I can't fax you my love 

I can't email my heart 

I can't see your face in cyberspace 

I don't know where to start 



I'm light years behind 

from the age they call stone 

I'm a carbon based caveman 

honey just flesh and bone 



I ain't no clone 

I'm just flesh and bone 

Trying to connect with you 

I ain't no clone 

I'm just flesh and bone 

Trying to get my message through 



Now we live in this age of computers 

They run everything in the world 

and I'm a little behind on this technical climb 

and you are an internet girl 



I've got words but no processor 

I've got feelings but I don't know DOS 

so I just have to go back to basics 

to try to get my point across 



Desperate for a glimpse of the future 

We use crystals and cards and dice 

and that Y2K is coming our way 

they're talking about some worldly strife 



It's time to think of simpler options 

It's time to formulate a big plan B 

so if your hard drive does crash 

I've got some Kruggerands stashed 

come on and sail away with me 



I can't fax you my love 

I can't email my heart 

I can't see your face in cyberspace 

I don't know where to start 



I'm light years behind 

from the age they call stone 

I'm a carbon based caveman 

honey just flesh and bone 



I ain't no clone 

I'm just flesh and bone 

Trying to connect with you 

I ain't no clone 

I'm just flesh and bone 

Let's run away to Timbuktu 



(spoken) oh yeah baby come on run away 

don't worry I don't byte 

I might nip a little bit 

Here let me get that
