_____
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
