"Caveman" lyrics

When I was a caveman
Painting 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
I would fly
Just one step and I'd spread my wings and fly

When I was a liar
Screaming at the walls
I never heard a whisper
I could not hear at all
And I could only cry for pity of me
I never knew the truth might set me free
Set me free

Round we go
These faces show
And 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
Each one is truly mine
They never last, but at the time it's how I feel

When I was a dreamer
Floating through the walls
Nothing was forever
I could change it all
And I could live with my heart on my sleeve
And I could save your soul, I do believe
I do believe
I could save your soul, I do believe

Then I was an old man
Staring at the walls
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
But I'll be on my way before it's gone
Before it's gone

Round we go
These faces show
And 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
Each one is truly mine
They never last, but at the time it's how I feel

When I was a caveman
When I was a caveman
I had it all
I had it all
