Closer To An Animal

Intro: (2x) 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 (Spoken outro repeats last )
