Stuart Davis - Ladder lyrics

I've got brains Like antique floors I built each one On the one before I use all three But they don't agree One of them Wants to love you Another one Would love to club you I guess my old natures Move like glaciers Chorus: The fish became a lizard The shrew became an ape Will the ape become an angel? The higher that we climb The more the ladder sways I'm the ba*tard child The one who got The head of Einstein And the soul of Pol Pot There's no compa**ion But I can split the atom Better give me a microscope For a different eye Better give me a telescope For the inward sky And a ladder leading Up from Eden Chorus If Ramana Maharshi Came from clay There's more to evolution Than a little DNA Cut off the moorings To the inward ark Aiming it into A question mark The fish became a lizard The shrew became an ape Will the ape Become a Mother Teresa? She came from clay There's more to evolution Than a little DNA
