The Caveman Lyrics

In all my time down in Memphis

All she wore was a plain old t shirt

She had baskets in her hair

It looked like something from the desert

Or from a dessert

And she said I do

Take it all back

I take it all back

I forgive you, I'm through

And I said I'm through

I don't believe it

I don't believe you look like your lying

I look in your eyes

I just see something else falling out of the sky

Like a dog rose cold off American dust

Ah- oooooo

Picture's worth a thousand words

Baby don't you know

Never made it back from San Antone

Never heard from you again, no

Remember when you left on that jet plane

Sawed off the exhaust

Broken heart of the Caveman

And I said I don't know why

I keep living this lie

I watched you fly away

Cause I gotta get drunk

Just to sleep at night

Its so fucking stupid

I fucking hate the cave

But I fated it

As only boats understand it

Is just the rude Atlantic

So I'll paint the deck and stash the safe

A las you can cruise

But when the fire fly's manic

Burning stone lights the sails

Faster than a frozen missile

Breaking our toes

Waving the coast

Shaking your own heart

Mine too I suppose

As only boats understand it

Is just the rude Atlantic

As only boats could stand it

Such a rude Atlantic
