Only Human (From the Casa Nova Sessons) - 2023 Remaster

Squirrel in the tree

Is he watching me?

Does he give a damn?

Does he care who I am?

I'm just a man

Is that all I am?

Are my manners misinterpreted?

Words are only human

I'm human

Murderous crow

Hey, what'cha know?

What'cha raving about?

What'cha hold in your toes?

Is that a twig?

Are you a dove of peace?

Black dove

Undercover with another puzzle piece

Are you a riddle to solve all along?

Or am I overthinking thoughts?

I'm human after all

Only human

Made of flesh

Made of sand

Made of you and me

The planet's talkin' about a revolution

The natural laws ain't got no constitution

They've got a right to live their own life

But we keep paving over paradise

'Cause we're only human

Yes, we are

Only human

If it's our only excuse

How do we think we'll keep on being

Only human?

Yes we are, yes we are

Only human

Only human

Only human

So far

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh

Up in the major's tree

The one he planted back when he was just a boy

I think in 1923

Thirty meters and a foot

Take a look, take a climb

What you'll find is the product of a seed

The seed is sown

All alone, it grows above

With a heart of love

Sharpened shelter of the animals of land

And cold weather breathing

We're all breathing in

The planet's talking about a revolution

The natural laws ain't got no constitution

They've got a right to live their own life

But we keep paving over paradise

'Cause we're only human

Yes, we are

Only human

If it's our only excuse

How do we think we'll keep on being

Only human?

Yes we are

Only human

Only human

So far, so far

And this place, it will outlive me

Before I get to heaven, I'll climb that tree

And I will have to give my thanks

For giving me the branch to swing on

If I ever fall in love

I hope to give myself a baby

I will let my children have their way

'Cause we're only human

Yes, we are

Only human

So far, so far

Woo-ooh
