I have been expecting, oh,
In an awning hum,
Thy name be Armageddon,
When the time has come.
So I stroke my tent to row
In the ev'ning sun
Through the port o' revenue,
Tomorrow it'll be gone.
When coal rains down soot-veiled pinnacles Of burning piles
I'll take my gown, preach the end of things
- there's no denial
All of my bananas taken,
Beaten to the ground,
I have risen from the ashes,
To lead this world down.
So, my brothers, follow me
Into a new day's fall,
In fireclouds we will commence
The cleansing of our souls.
So Glorious, behold my glaring robe, immaculate.
Victorious, the divine bar of soap, made me rad!
We're hungry for salvation
We thirst for absolution
Humm Homm Kumbayea
We're hungry for salvation
We thirst for absolution
Our leader is now here
Lay eyes upon the sunrise,
For it might be the last time,
Mild sunshine, no bad hair day,
Let the bells of perdition chime.
I'm closing my case, there's nothing left to say.
Any last questions? Yeah, I take that as a no.
But if you feel battered, your whole world is shattered,
I may have a helpful suggestion for you.
No, you won't survive to see
Elysium's dawn,
Doomsday Messiah,
For you no one will mourn.
But I will brush my silky hair,
Marvel at those gorgeous curls,
Then I'll step outside to face
This moribund world.
It may seem safe to say, that Rufus's way
Of saving the day is a little snafu
But when shit hits the fan is when a decent man's plan
Will dwindle deeper as ever a diver with a scuba did do
Just grab your harmonica, sing about Deponia,
And Rufus's dream of a life more ideal
And the fact that sometimes there may
Be just one last chance to save the day
And that's to let go and if that's so -
I'm off now for real
