Man Alive lyrics

Sun sets in the West

The boy has gone to rest

Mama clutch her breast

All creatures great and small

Graze on blood red soil

And grass that grows on city streets

It's been a quiet town

Since the juice went down

Now something's washed up on the beach

A man alive

After some thousands of years

Fewer than the smallest imaginable intake of breath

The wisest guys in the evolution of humanity became extinct

Mother Nature loves a vacuum

And so, the earth was cleansed

In no time at all

All creatures great and small

Graze on blood red soil

And grass that grows on city streets

It's been a quiet town

Until the word got round

And something washed up on the beach

A man alive

A man alone

Washed up on the beach

Just a man

Whoosh
