The Colony Of Slippermen (The Arrival / A Visit To The Doktor / Raven) - Genesis

Rael:

I wandered lonely as a cloud

Till I came upon this dirty street

I’ve never seen a stranger crowd

Slubberdegullions on squeaky feet

Continually pacing

With nonchalant embracing

Each orifice disgracing

And one facing me

Moves to say «hellay»

Your skin’s all covered in slimy lumps

With lips that slide across each chin

His twisted limbs like rubber stumps

Are waved in welcome

Say «Please join in»

My grip must be flipping

'Cause his handshake keeps slipping

My hopes keep on dipping

And his lips keep on

Smiling all the time

Slipperman:

«We, like you

Have tasted love

Don’t be alarmed

At what you see

You yourself

Are just the same

As what you see in me»

Rael:

Me

Like you?

Like that?!

Slipperman:

«You better watch it, son

Your sentence has only just begun

You better run and join your brother John»

II) A Visit to the Doktor

Slipperman:

«You're in the colony of slippermen

There’s no who, why

What or when

You can get out

If you’ve got the gripe

To see, Doktor Dyper

Reformed sniper

He’ll whip off

Your windscreenwiper"

Rael:

John and I are able

To face the Doktor

And his marble table

He said…

The Doktor:

Understand, Rael

That’s the end of your tail

Rael:

«Don't delay

Dock the dick!»

I watch his countdown

Timer tick…

III) The Raven

He places the number into a tube

It’s a yellow plastic

Shoobedoobe

It says: «Though your fingers may tickle

You’ll be safe in our pickle»

Suddenly, black cloud

Come down from the sky

Its a supersized black bird

That sure can fly

The raven brings on

Darkness and night

He flies right down

Gives me one hell of a fright

He takes the tube

Right out of my hands

Man, I’ve got to find

Where that black bird lands

«Look here, John

I’ve got to run

I need you now

You’re going to come?»

He says to me…

John:

«Now can’t you see

Where the raven flies

There’s jeopardy?

We’ve been cured on the couch

Now you’re sick with your grouch

I’ll not risk my honey pouch

Which my slouch

Will wear slung very low"

Rael:

He walks away

And leaves me once again

Even though I never learn

I’d hoped he’d show

Just some concern

Some concern

Ah…

Some concern

I’m in the agony of Slipperpain

I pray my undercarriage will sustain

The chase is on

The pace is hot

But I’m running so very hard

With everything

That I’ve got

He leads me down an underpass

Though it narrows

He still flies very fast

When the tunnel stops

Catch sight of the tube

Just as it drops

I’m on top of a bank

Too steep to climb

I see it hit the water

Just in time

To watch it float away

Watch it float away

Watch it float away…

Ache, make, lake, snake, awake, snake, lake
