Lyrics
All in a day All for me Trek across the space It'll be just like they say Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah Since I am told Month number three He has no memory Of fliers in the night Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah They went away They went away My manta ray is alright My manta ray is alright (My manta ray is alright) alright, alright (My manta ray is alright) alright, alright Police they say My mother too A fish from ocean blue Above my head that night Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah There is a way There is a way My manta ray is alright My manta ray is alright (is alright) My manta ray is alright (is alright) My manta ray is alright (is alright)
