The Space Giant |
In the marshlands, a spaceman lands |
Pleading his demands, to the robot band |
«Please hear my plight, to save the green apple in the sky |
From the space giant’s appetite, for depraved delights |
He followed W.I.N.K. |
the satellite, W.I.N.K.'s trail of blue matter bright |
The giant’s got a one-track mind, and will eat everything just to find the |
robot band.» |
What’ll you say, when asked to saved the day, what would you do to save a world? |
Over bleak horizons and under dark conditions let the robot band do the work |
And so it was, Steam Powered Giraffe set about to confront the Space Giant |
The robot band started work, to meticulously convert |
W.I.N.K. |
the SteamJunk from the sky, into a functional transport device |
Rabbit are you ready? |
Oh, you bet your butt I’m ready |
Hatchworth are you ready? |
Yes, but I’m not certain what for |
Launched into space to save the human race and the green apple in the sky |
Ride W.I.N.K. |
the Satellite into endless night, at speeds of near light |
The journey long, the destination nigh, the green apple planet-sized |
And missing a bite, alone in the night, W.I.N.K. |
shuddered with delight |
In the Vice Quadrant, there loomed the Space Giant, its grin the horizon, |
it had found the band |
«Finally you’ve come, the parallel universe I’m from |
Steam Powered Giraffe is done, they left a hole in me |
So I’ve come all this way, all the while my appetite could not be sate |
So I want one last show, before I go.» |
But first, the Space Giant needed proof that this truly was Steam Powered |
Giraffe |
So it proposed a duel and revealed a guitar made out of the cosmos |
The ensuing duel would come to be known as the most awesome duel in all the |
universe |
The duel ended |
The Space Giant streamed tears like waterfalls under the green apple sky |
Healing her, and giving her a salty ocean |
During the course of Steam Powered Giraffe’s impromptu performance |
The Space Giant shrunk down into the Space Miniscule, and then into Nothing At |
All |
The robots and W.I.N.K. |
returned to Earth |
There, W.I.N.K. |
spoke his final words |
«My friends return home, I must journey alone, to the green apple in the sky |
If there’s a thing called love, it waits for me above, it’s time for goodbyes.» |
W.I.N.K. |
your bravery, will not be forgotten, your love will not be lost |
The Space Giant gone, Earth’s peace prolonged, humanity carries on… at least |
for now |
