Текст песни The Ascent Of Man (R.E.M.) с переводом

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 came across like a battering ram

I try to float like a telegram sam

I’m trying to divine you)

So hesitation pulled me back

I’m stronger when I don’t attract

And with my hands tied I won’t crack
