Lyrics

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
