He fell out of the ocean, a sailor sighting land Smiles
and sun-tan lotion we laid him on the sand He
breathed a sigh or two and smiled To see what he had
come into, run into

We asked him what his name was, he called himself a fool He
said 'I'm the hrst of many and you're the last of few' He stared
into the sea and showed us Where horizons disappear, the
ships appeared

(Chorus)

He fell on dangerous ground and woke up in paradise
We took to the hills, afraid of his deep, blue eyes
This man on dangerous ground, shaking the devil loose
Falling down on his knees, shaking his fist at the moon

He built himself a kingdom, we laughed and clapped our hands He
bought us with his magic, this unfamiliar man Silver birds have filled
the sky It seems the grass is greener on the other side Now there's
nowhere to run, nowhere to hide

(Chorus)
He fell on dangerous ground and woke up in paradise
We took to the hills, afraid of his deep, blue eyes
This man on dangerous ground shaking the devil loose
Falling down on his knees, shaking his fiat at the moon
