Lyrics The Colony Of Slippermen (The Arrival / A Visit To The Doktor / Raven) - Remastered 2008 - Genesis
THE
ARRIVAL]
I
wandered
lonely
as
a
cloud,
Till
I
came
upon
this
dirty
street.
I've
never
seen
a
stranger
crowd;
Slubberdegullions
on
a
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
stamps
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."
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.
Understand
Rael,
it'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,
A
yellow
plastic
"shoobedoobe".
It
says:
"Though
your
fingers
may
tickle
You'll
be
safe
in
our
pickle."
Suddenly,
black
cloud
comes
down
from
the
sky.
It's
a
supersize
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
out
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
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
I've
got.
He
leads
me
down
an
underpass
Though
it
narrows,
he
still
flies
very
fast,
When
the
tunnel
stops
I
catch
sight
of
the
tube,
just
as
it
drops.
I'm
on
top
of
a
bank,
to
steep
to
climb,
I
see
it
hit
the
water,
just
in
time,
To
watch
it
float
away.
