If men came from Venus
|
And women came from Mars,
|
Then I'd be lunching with my boyfriends
|
While you girls talked about cigars.
|
|
But that's not how it happened;
|
Evolution took a different turn.
|
We may be creatures with some unique features
|
But we've still got a lot to learn.
|
|
We've made it nearly twenty centuries
|
A bunch of monkeys with PhD's.
|
Spun a web of communications
|
But it's all still a tangle to me.
|
|
I can't tell the spiders
|
From the dangling flies and moths.
|
I fell like some outsider,
|
Who seems to have his wires all crossed.
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
I can't fax you my love.
|
I can't e-mail you my heart.
|
I can't see your face in cyberspace,
|
I don't know where to start.
|
I'm light years behind from the age the call stone.
|
I'm a carbon based caveman honey, just flesh and bone.
|
|
I ain't no clone, I'm just flesh and bone
|
Trying to connect with you.
|
I ain't no clone, I'm just flesh and bone
|
Tryin' to get the message through.
|
|
Now we live in the age computers.
|
They run everything in the world.
|
And I'm a little behind on this technical climb
|
And your are an Internet girl.
|
|
I've got words but no processor.
|
I've got feelings but I don't know DOS.
|
So I just have to go back to basics
|
And try to get my point across.
|
|
Desperate for a glimpse of the future.,
|
We use crystals and cards and dice.
|
And that Y2K is coming our way.
|
They're talkin' 'bout some worldly strife.
|
|
It's time to think of simpler options.
|
It's time to formulate a big plan B,
|
So if your hard drive does crash,
|
I got some Krugerands stashed.
|
Come on and sail away with me.
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
I ain't no clone, I'm just flesh and bone.
|
Just trying to connect with you.
|
I ain't no clone, I'm just flesh and bone.
|
Let's run away to Timbuktu
|
