The Colony of Slipperman: Arrival - A Visit to the Doktor - Raven
guitar chords lyrics
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"
His 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
Cos his handshake keeps slipping
My hopes keep on dipping
My grip must be flipping
Cos his handshake keeps slipping
My hopes keep on dipping
And his lips keep on smiling all the time
"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."
Like you
Like that
"You better watch it son, your sentence has only just begun
You better run and join your brother John."
You're in the colony of slippermen
There's no who? why? what? or when?
You get out if you've got the gripe
To see, Doktor Dyper, reformed sniper, he'll whip off your windscreenwiper
John and I are able
To face the Doktor and his marble table
He Said: "Understand Rael, that's the end of your tail."
Don't delay, dock the dick
I watch his countdown timer tick
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
It's 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 take 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 going to come?
He says to me: "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
He walks away and leaves me once again
Even though I never learn
I'd hoped he'd show just 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
