Flesh and Bone — текст песни (Jimmy Buffett)

by: Jimmy Buffett

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 made it nearly 20 centuries
but your monkeys with Ph.D.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 feel like like some outsider
who seems to have his wires all crossed

I can`t fax you my love
I can`t email 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 they 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
Trying to get my message through

Now we live in this age of computers
They run everything in the world
and I`m a little behind on this technical climb
and you 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
to 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 talking about 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`ve got some Kruggerands stashed
come on and sail away with me

I can`t fax you my love
I can`t email 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 they 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
Let`s run away to Timbuktu

(spoken) oh yeah baby come on run away
don`t worry I don`t byte
I might nip a little bit
Here let me get that
