Jimmy Buffett - Flesh and Bone lyrics

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
