r.e.m. - the ascent of man - live in dublin / 2005 lyrics

[verse 1]
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’m 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]
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(i try to walk like a big wham bam
i came across like a battering ram)
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(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

[post+chorus, spoken]
i look at you, you look right to me
what’s a man to do?
what’s a man to say?

[verse 3]
i looked for you, it’s my last grandstand
a motorscootered goat+legged pan
figure+eighting in quicksand

[chorus]
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(i try to walk like a big wham bam
i came across like a battering ram)
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(i try to float like a telegram sam
i’m trying to divine you)
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(i try to walk like a big wham bam
i came across like a battering ram)
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(i try to float like a telegram sam
i’m trying to divine you)

[outro]
my 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

[outro, spoken]
thank you
