Man Alive

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
