Lyrics

Farewell Sonata

[Intro]

(c'est la vie)

[Verse 1]

Standing here and mingling with

Birds that cannot fly and

Fishes that cannot swim and

(rainbow) Black and white and

Man that (cannot love)

What anomaly?

What anomaly?

What anomaly?

What anomaly?

Farewell

(Farewell alien)

(Farewell alien)

(Farewell)

Oh, farewell

(Farewell alien)

Farewell alien
