Cave Man Lyrics



When I was a caveman

Paintin' on the walls

I never had a dollar

Man I had it all



And I

Was very high

In the order of things



Just one step

And I'd spread my wings

And fly

Oh I would fly



Oh just one step

One step

And I could spread my wings

To fly



When I was a liar

Screamin' at the walls

I never heard a whisper

I could not hear at all



And I

Could only cry

For pity of me



Never know the truth

Might set me free

Might set me free



Oh 'round we go

These faces show

They leave and every

One seems ever real



And each one is truly mine

They never last

But at the time

It's how I feel



Each one is truly mine

They never last

But at the time

It's how I feel



When I was a dreamer

Floatin' through the walls

Nothing was forever

I could change it all



And I

Could live with my

Heart on my sleeve



I could save your soul

I do believe

I do believe



Oh I could save your soul

I could have saved your soul

I do believe

I do believe



Then I'll be an old man

Starin' at the wall

Looking for an answer

To make sense of it all



And I can safely say

That if it comes my way

It will not stay for long



And I'll be on my way

Before it's gone

Before it's gone



Oh 'round we go

These faces show

They leave and every

One seems ever real



Each one is truly mine

They never last

But at the time

It's how I feel



It's how I feel



They never last

But at the time

It's how I feel



But when I was a caveman

When I was a caveman

I had it all

I had it all
