I am a man
You fell down from that apple tree the other day with me
We had already forgotten, we one day crawled up from the sea
Imangine now
If we one day could build a flying contraption and see the world
What if we could some how store knowledge in a cloud
Draw a smiley face on the moon, find the meaning of life
Riding the crest of our time
With bravado soon complete
We will see a new one rise behind us
A new chance, a new world
Our wave it's about to break
And we're about to dive in the void
It echoes our fall
Our paean to avarice
I think we're closer (ooh )
To an animal (ooh )
Everyday till we fall
Can you believe
We have all those eyes high in the sky and we can see the world
On thing truly makes me blind, the wisdom of hindsight
The eye in my own hand
Riding the crest of our time
With bravado soon complete
We will see a new one rise behind us
A new chance, a new world
I think I'm closer (ooh )
To an animal (ooh )
Everyday till I fall
If you want it all, you can have it all
But greed raises oceans too
When the glacier of our broken dreams
Melts in your champagne glass
Someone knocks on your door four times
Sand in your hourglass
Every grain is a day, falling
Finding it's rightful place
If you want it all, you can have it all
But greed raises oceans too
When the glacier of our broken dreams
Melts in your champagne glass
Do we need it all, we can have it all
Our greed will raise oceans soon
And the glacier of our human dream
Gone with the champagne glass in the sea
