| Now I was walking down an alley on a dark and shady night
|
| Feeling kinda bleary like something wasn’t right
|
| Was at the latest trendy club, but I had to escape
|
| Cause people were all chit chat 'bout their furniture and drapes.
|
| The music was too serious, the bands were pretty lame
|
| Women looked like cloggers, now the men looked just the same
|
| I was drunk, so to avoid a scene I left through the back door
|
| Some voices came down on the wind that I couldn’t just ignore
|
| we’re moon jocks and prog rocks
|
| prog jocks and moon rocks
|
| we’re visualized supersynth grooveitars
|
| we’ve come from the dock of a bridge of a discoverse.
|
| I left-turned down this alley, propped up against a wall
|
| Feet were aching, legs were shaking, mind was gonna stall
|
| In this state of near-collapse I heard some kind of hiss
|
| Lightning struck and time dissolved and I fell into a state of bliss.
|
| I saw the strangest creatures like in some Timmy Burton flick
|
| With moonplate eyes and frogman feet, they looked like Lunatics
|
| Wearing purple capes and lava lamps on their heads
|
| Raised their hands in the cool night air, this is what they said:
|
| prog jocks and moon rocks
|
| prog jocks and moon rocks
|
| we’re visualized supersynth grooveitars
|
| we’ve come from the dock of a bridge of a discoverse.
|
| rocketing away to a shaking dancefloor
|
| Take this flight to another space, where proggy disco is the superior race
|
| Now I can tell ya LOUD I was a little stuck for words
|
| I choked on my nouns and gagged on my verbs and blamed it on the herbs
|
| Their leader sauntered up with a swing of his hips
|
| And put a gnarly finger up to button up my lips.
|
| He said:
|
| «We got a better place for a dude like you
|
| Less bustle, more hustle, all boogaloo.
|
| Far have we travelled, long have we run
|
| From the fifty-fourth stone from a supernova sun
|
| Here evolution is the name of a Giorgio tune
|
| this is the proggy side of the silver spoon
|
| What we got’s what you need, so get with the beat
|
| On the Transgalactic Express, feel the nano heat
|
| And then the sky ripped open and we flew through the heavens
|
| right to the heart of the sun in Sector 77.
|
| I heard a thousand voices in a moog synthesizer
|
| an arp of an odyssey played by some green little kaiser.
|
| I saw a dude in sequin slacks with a pink neon face
|
| He was poppin' out sins and saints on his cosmic lazer bass
|
| The beat was pounding through my soul and I knew what I must do
|
| I gotta get myself right back to Earth to tell this tale to you.
|
| But before I could do another thing they got me lazerlocked
|
| The door slid open and I saw a sight that put me into shock
|
| A four-poster bed with silky sheets and posts of bones
|
| And there in the middle like a cosmic riddle was Babylonia Jones.
|
| And then I knew my time was up as she took me to her side
|
| She showed her Purple Twang and she threw me deep inside
|
| so my story ends with tears and a moral writ in stone:
|
| «Beware the Deadly Purple Twang of Babylonia Jones»
|
| Take this flight to another space, where proggy disco is the superior race. |
