The Colony Of Slipperman (Arrival . A Visit To The Doctor . Raven Songtext / Lyric

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

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
