Lyrics
I see a man all alone in the air
I observe a man flying alone in the air.
I think that man needs a comb for his hair
I believe that the man needs a comb for his hair.
He fell from the sky on a cold afternoon
He fell from the sky on a cold afternoon.
Crashed into earth on a dark afternoon
He crashed into the earth on a dark afternoon.
I just haven't felt the same
I have not felt the same since then.
But then I'm very sentimental
Despite the situation, I am very sentimental.
He's not a bird
The man is not a bird.
He's not a plane
He's not a plane either.
This is a man
This is a man.
Poor flying man
Expressing sympathy for the unfortunate flying man.
I see a man all alone in the air
Observing the same man flying alone again.
Nobody asked what he has to declare
Nobody inquired about what he has to declare.
'Coz he froze coming down
He froze while descending from the sky.
All the way to the ground
He froze all the way to the ground.
He froze coming down
Reiterating the freezing descent.
With that look on his face
Describing the expression on his face during the fall.
I just haven't felt the same
I still haven't felt the same emotionally.
But then you know I'm sentimental
Acknowledging sentimental feelings.
He's not a bird
Reiterating that he's not a bird.
He's not a plane
Reiterating that he's not a plane.
This is a man
This is a man, emphasizing his humanity.
Poor flying man
Expressing sympathy for the unfortunate flying man again.
He's not a bird
Reiterating that he's not a bird.

If I had a moment to live
If given a moment to live, the speaker wishes to fly.
I'd wish I could fly
Expressing a desire to fly to a high place.
I'd go to a place that was ever so high
Imagining going to a place that is extremely high.
I'd step from a plane into the sky
Imagining stepping from a plane into the sky.
A second to live, I wish I could...
If given a second to live, the speaker wishes to fly.
He's not a bird
Reiterating that he's not a bird.
What have you heard
