He's a walkin' contradiction when he sings his verse.
|
He's got a caffeine fix addiction but it could be worse.
|
And he is loved by many understood in time.
|
But it's easier to love him than to try to read his mind.
|
He's a mass of words expression and toil,
|
and his temples in the trees, the water and the soil --
|
he's a man of evolution, always changing like the seasons.
|
He finds the right solution but gets lost in his own reason,
|
and he's got a ways to go.
|
I know he's doing what he can.
|
Sometimes this world's a lonely place for the evolution man,
|
but she's always been there for him.
|
She's his steady ground, and he'll never ever own her,
|
it's the other way around.
|
'Cause she's the way out of here,
|
she's the needle in his vein,
|
and he knows she's the only thing that will ever stop the pain.
|
He stands there naked in the light giving all he's got.
|
Most folks don't understand that
|
we're no different than the rocks and stones.
|
To the evolution man she said,
|
"I got a funny feelin' that I'm headed somewhere new and
|
there ain't no use in stealin' your sweet sweet dream from you
|
'cause I know you'll find what you want if I set you free...
|
and I'll still be here if you find that what you want is me,
|
'cause it's a long and lonely road.
|
I know you're doing what you can
|
but I never thought it would be so hard to love
|
the evolution man.
|
You're an evolution man."
