Lyrics
Man Alive
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Sun sets in the West
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
