Letra The ascent of man de REM

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.)
