Song information

Lyrics

He's a walkin' contradiction when he sings his verse
He's got a caffeine fix addiction but it could be worse
And he is loved by many understood in time
But it's easier to love him than to try to read his mind
He's a mass of words expression and toil
And his temples in the trees, the water and the soil --
He's a man of evolution, always changing like the seasons
He finds the right solution but gets lost in his own reason
And he's got a ways to go
I know he's doing what he can
Sometimes this world's a lonely place for the evolution man
But she's always been there for him
She's his steady ground, and he'll never ever own her
It's the other way around
'Cause she's the way out of here
She's the needle in his vein
And he knows she's the only thing that will ever stop the pain
He stands there naked in the light giving all he's got
Most folks don't understand that
We're no different than the rocks and stones
To the evolution man she said
"I got a funny feelin' that I'm headed somewhere new and
There ain't no use in stealin' your sweet sweet dream from you
'Cause I know you'll find what you want if I set you free..
And I'll still be here if you find that what you want is me
'Cause it's a long and lonely road
I know you're doing what you can
But I never thought it would be so hard to love
The evolution man
You're an evolution man."
