about

Yeah, it's about Doctor Who. And if you haven't seen Doctor Who, it's about whatever you want it to be about except monotremes. I have written no songs about monotremes.

More than any other, this song has made it clear that I need to be including the lyrics to my songs on this site. That's what lead to the side-by-side layout you see now, with lyrics on the right.

Got a lot of the harmonic progression from Hotel California. Maybe play the song at about half its normal speed to hear it, and then stop laughing at my deep voice. Also, I secretly embedded a Time Lord heart beat through the entire song. Guess that's no longer a secret. Damn.

lyrics

Run! Run! Allons-y! <<The rift is drifting out of sync>>
Angels weep for me. <<Don't look away, don't even blink>>

What now, Captain Jack? <<The Boe is something you will face>>
Heat death, fade to black. <<The end of time, the end of space>>

The vortex spins in its wibbly, wobbly, time-y wime-y glide.
I'm out for a ride with a runaway bride and her Gallifrey guide.
The controls are all fried in a box that I've tried to work out how it's bigger inside.

[Chorus]
Is there a Doctor in the house?
Cause all these things I'm seeing don't seem right, I might be crazy.
Is there a Doctor in the house?
I think I maybe need to know the score, before you fade away.

ATMOS, funky air. <<Sontaran plot to terraform>>
Bad Wolf everywhere. <<Prognosticates the coming storm>>

Million tiny bites. <<Count the shadows if you dare>>
Who turned out the lights? <<The data ghosts are unaware>>

You did later again just when you will do that before.
We're caught in a war with the Daleks and Forest of Cheem and a score of those plasmavores
And a vespiform and don't ever ignore the raxacoricofallapatorian!

[Chorus]

One fantastic box and its Tennant dissolve like Brigadoon.
We're all a bit looney cause Martha's marooned with an angry Judoon-y platoon on the moon
And hey look at that beautiful TARDIS balloon I hope Rose'll re-tune the dimensional barrier soon.

[Chorus, repeat and fade]
