lyrics

Man Needs Cave



Kill the lights when
you leave,
this man, he don’t
want you to see.
He’s going to run, jump
and fall,
and run this heart
along his sleeve.

Every Neanderthal
needs a place that he can call
his home from those more highly evolved.

-

If he grins
and bares his teeth,
give him his millennium
to grieve,
far from Carlos
and Jesús,
where he’s the fittest
on the loose.

Man needs cave,
where he ain’t no slave,
where he can do no wrong.


This glyph represents,
this picture reads,
these figures run,
these colours bleed.
This engine needs the dark
to locate the spark,
and bring it in a lantern that’s true.
She’s all cute,
and she’s all fun.
She goes to forage
in the sun.
Her slender fingers
and her thumbs
give her the grip
to get things done.

A corner needs two walls,
a phone needs calls.
I don’t hear it ring.


And reflected
in her knife, is how science
saves a life,
and how its method
is betrayed, by sudden rattlesnakes and
earthquakes.

Every modern ape
needs to swing through the landscape
that was once wet and green.


This glyph represents,
this picture reads,
these figures run,
these colours bleed.
This engine needs the dark
to locate the spark,
and bring it in a lantern to you.
