All Alone

[Verse 1]

Once upon a time they sent a rocket to the moon

With scientific instruments to test conditions there

But just before they closed the door, one scientist expelled a germ

That accidentally found its way aboard and stowed away

For three years, it remained undetected on the moon

It was the only living creature there

[Chorus]

"I'm all alone, I'm all alone

Behold the mystery that is me"

[Verse 2]

Then one day the scientists recovered all their gear

Excited by the prospect of unearthly things inside

They found, to their astonishment, a living thing within

It seemed to bear good tidings from somewhere in outer space

[Chorus]

"You're not alone, you're not alone

Behold the mystery that is me"

[Verse 3]

Soon they figured out the heinous error they had made

And now the earthly germ had something else it seemed to say

[Chorus]

"We're all alone, we're all alone

Behold the mystery, behold the mystery"
