Life After Life
Long before these men-at-arms
Through antediluvian torrential thunderstorms
And the churning stew of the primordial sea
Riding the rocking-horse of Time came Nature's Baby
She lived and She died, surviving climates harsh
As a giant dragon fly in the acrid humidity
Of many a swamp and marsh
She adopted ancient fish-like forms
Thriving on some bizarre creature
Time and again, emerged She fairer from fair
And fairest from fairer
Afresh and anew, endlessly
Her mammoth hide weathered by sun and shower
Bleaching and shedding scales, feathers and hair
In the acid rains of chemistry
She water-coloured the oceans aquamarine
With indelible octopus ink
She bejewelled green valleys
Becoming a flower pink
She flew in pterodactyl skies
And like small dinosaurs ran
She climbed down the family tree
And She became Man
She climbed down the family tree
And She became Man
But Man kills Herself, dreaming of an afterlife
Sheds blood, engages in a bloody strife
Death is a remedy to man's troubles all
Death is more natural than Life
Life is too good to last forever
So sweet, She saccharine turns soon
So Man commits a cold-blooded murder
On a warm spring afternoon
Long after these fatigued military uniforms
Through post-apocalyptic particle-storms
And the burning of a long dead sea
The rocking-horse of Time lies empty
Long after these fatigued military uniforms
Through post-apocalyptic particle-storms
And the burning of a long dead sea
Riding the rocking-horse of Time came Nature's Baby
Baby
Long after these fatigued military uniforms
Baby Baby Baby, come
Come, Baby Baby Baby
Baby Baby Baby, come
Come, Baby Baby Baby
Long after these fatigued military uniforms
Baby Baby Baby, come
Come, Baby Baby Baby
Baby Baby Baby, come
Come, Baby Baby Baby
Baby
Through antediluvian torrential thunderstorms
And the churning stew of the primordial sea
Riding the rocking-horse of Time came Nature's Baby
She lived and She died, surviving climates harsh
As a giant dragon fly in the acrid humidity
Of many a swamp and marsh
She adopted ancient fish-like forms
Thriving on some bizarre creature
Time and again, emerged She fairer from fair
And fairest from fairer
Afresh and anew, endlessly
Her mammoth hide weathered by sun and shower
Bleaching and shedding scales, feathers and hair
In the acid rains of chemistry
She water-coloured the oceans aquamarine
With indelible octopus ink
She bejewelled green valleys
Becoming a flower pink
She flew in pterodactyl skies
And like small dinosaurs ran
She climbed down the family tree
And She became Man
She climbed down the family tree
And She became Man
But Man kills Herself, dreaming of an afterlife
Sheds blood, engages in a bloody strife
Death is a remedy to man's troubles all
Death is more natural than Life
Life is too good to last forever
So sweet, She saccharine turns soon
So Man commits a cold-blooded murder
On a warm spring afternoon
Long after these fatigued military uniforms
Through post-apocalyptic particle-storms
And the burning of a long dead sea
The rocking-horse of Time lies empty
Long after these fatigued military uniforms
Through post-apocalyptic particle-storms
And the burning of a long dead sea
Riding the rocking-horse of Time came Nature's Baby
Baby
Long after these fatigued military uniforms
Baby Baby Baby, come
Come, Baby Baby Baby
Baby Baby Baby, come
Come, Baby Baby Baby
Long after these fatigued military uniforms
Baby Baby Baby, come
Come, Baby Baby Baby
Baby Baby Baby, come
Come, Baby Baby Baby
Baby
