R.E.M. - The Ascent Of Man [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Chorus]
So hesitation pulled me back
I'm stronger when I don't attract

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus 1]
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

[Chorus 2]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus 1]

[Chorus 2]

[Verse 3]
I looked for you, it's my last grandstand
A motorscootered goat legged pan
Figure eighting in quicksand

[Chorus 1]

[Chorus 2]

[Chorus]

[Outro]
Snd with my hands tied I won't crack
Cause in my mind I called you back
