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.)
