It's like it was yesterday
On a Tuesday night in February
Alone on a two-wheeler
When suddenly far off a streetlamp
In the station wagon's headlights
His moped, gliding through the air
Shattered into a thousand pieces of him too
It blew him and his plans to pieces
In the debris and dust in the sky
We're not alone on Earth
The iron man told me one day
We're not alone in the world
In our wandering nights
Cross of wood, Lucifer cross
If I'm lying I'll go to hell too
Even if he steps on our heads
Even if he sends us flying
The iron man told me one day
It was as if at that very spot
The ground under the yellowed lights
Fell back down to the ground
When life hangs by a thread
No need to be a messiah
To know there wasn't much left to do
To also lose the power of speech
In the chaos and smell of gasoline
He took the armless soul in his arms
Laid him in the ditch, defenseless
Whispering to him it'll be okay, it'll be okay
We're not alone on Earth
The iron man told me one day
We're not alone in the world
In our wandering nights
Cross of wood, Lucifer cross
If I'm lying I'll go to hell too
Even if he steps on our heads
Even if he sends us flying
The iron man told me one day
And like an animal, he bolted
The hit-and-run driver took off, it was fatal
Taking with him the dreams and desires
Of an innocent he had just
We're not alone on Earth
We're not alone on Earth
The iron man told me one day
Cross of wood, Lucifer cross
