The Colony Of Slippermen

a.The Arrival

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 he moves to say 'hellay'

Your skin's all covered in slimy lumps
With lips that slide accrossed 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

Slippermen:
'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!

Slipperment:
'Better watch it son, your sentence has only just begun
Better run and join your brother John'

b.A Visit To The Doktor

Slippermen:
'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 mountain table

The Doktor:
Understand Rael, that's the end of your tail

Rael:
Don't delay, dock the dick!
I watch his countdown timer tick ...

c.The Raven

He places the number into a tube
Its 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 takes the tube right out of my hand
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 couh
Now you're sick with your grouch
I'll not risk my honey pouch
Which my souch will wear slung very low

Rael:
He walks away and leaves me once again
Even though I never learn,
I 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, watch it float away, watch it float away

[repeat, fade and ad lib]
