Rapture of Riddley Walker

Went to the doctor to see what could be given
He said, «Sorry, but you’ve got to do your own livin'.»
Went to the pastor to hear what he would say
He said, «Sorry, son, come back later some time after judgment day.»
There is no safe way out of here
No passage below the dungeon
No mother ship will save you
So goes the rapture of Riddley Walker
Churchyard was empty, schoolyard was bare
Wind in the streets, wind in the air
Pockets of diamonds and nothing to buy
Scream out hello and get no reply
Victims of zombies convene in the park
While any man with dignity makes an easy mark
Heaven is a long ways away
Heaven is a long, long, long, long ways away
There is no safe way out of here
No passage below the dungeon
No mothership will come save you
The rapture of Riddley Walker
How many-cools of Addom?
Party cools of stone?
Hart of the wood shadder
Eusa roam
How many-cools of Addom?
Party cools of stone?
Hart of the wood shadder
Eusa roam
Drop-John been climbing on Riddley’s back
Follow the power, a natural fact
Orfing & Ardship, hardship is plain
Hardly Goodparley is ever the same
Shadows and phantom’s convene in the snow
Among the low whispers are voices you know
Heaven is a long ways away
Heaven is a long, long, long, long ways away
There is no safe way out of here
No passage below the dungeon
No mothership will come save you
The rapture of Riddley Walker
How many-cools of Addom?
Party cools of stone?
Hart of the wood shadder
Eusa roam
How many-cools of Addom?
Party cools of stone?
Hart of the wood shadder
Eusa roam
