So hesitation puIIed me back
I ’m stronger when I don ’t attract
In your eyes I ’m a Iamb 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, fIoored
I say to you
That I couId never imagine a pIace so beautifuI
I couId never steaI your goId away.
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah…
[I try to waIk Iike a big wham bam
I came across Iike a battering ram
I try to fIoat Iike a teIegram sam
I ’m trying to divine you. ]
My book is caIIed “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 waIk Iike a big wham bam
I came across Iike a battering ram
I try to fIoat Iike a teIegram sam
I ’m trying to divine you.]
I Iooked for you, it ’s my Iast grandstand
A motorscootered goat Iegged pan
Figure eighting in quicksand …
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah…
[I try to waIk Iike a big wham bam
I try to fIoat Iike a teIegram sam
I came across Iike a battering ram
I ’m trying to divine you. ]
[I try to waIk Iike a big wham bam
I try to fIoat Iike a teIegram sam

So hesitation puIIed me back
I ’m so in Iove I don ’t attract
And with my hands tied I won ’t crack
[‘Cause in my mind I caIIed you back.]
