Man Alive Lyrics


[Intro]

(Eye-eye-eye)

(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh ooh)

Sun sets in the west (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh ooh)

Boy has gone to rest (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh ooh)

Mama clutch her breast (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh ooh oh)

[Chorus]

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

[Spoken ]

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

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]

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

That something washed up on the beach

A man alive

[Outro]

A man alone

Washed up on the beach

Just a man

Whoosh...
