Hummin’ In The Deluge
Deborah
The Rain Caves here on Jensen are the source of all the life
A little bio-enclave on a planet made of ice
The water from the overhead is pure as it is rife
The metaphor is clear
You are Hummin’ in The Deluge
You are Hummin’ in The Deluge
You are Hummin’ in The Deluge
You’ll be wet through and through
You ran from the Dominion ‘cause you thought we were no good
“Enclavers stand alone” you said, and on your own you stood
But space is big and lonely and in common cause we should
Reintegrate again
You are Hummin’ in The Deluge
You are Hummin’ in The Deluge
You are Hummin’ in The Deluge
It’s lonely in the rain
Hout
I think that the Dominion is a team we could rejoin
The benefits are many and it’s harder on our own
But not all we Enclavers care to bow down to your throne
We’d need a better deal
We are Hummin’ in The Deluge
We are Hummin’ in The Deluge
We are Hummin’ in The Deluge
But we know how to swim
Deborah
I’m here from the Dominion with an offer to return
A peaceful reuniting of our prodigal concern
Come back to the fold with us united and in turn
I’ll make sure it goes well
You are Hummin’ in The Deluge
You are Hummin’ in The Deluge
You are Hummin’ in The Deluge
We’ll keep the waters calm
Hout
I’m not sure I can trust you and the Overlord as well
The reason that we left was that you treated us like hell
To go upon your word alone is something hard to sell
To all my Enclavers
We are Hummin’ in The Deluge
We are Hummin’ in The Deluge
We are Hummin’ in The Deluge
We like the rains we know
Deborah
You need to understand I am an Envoy come in peace
Accept my offer gracefully, negotiate your needs
For if you turn me down the Legion option may proceed
To be the strategy
You are Hummin’ in The Deluge
You are Hummin’ in The Deluge
You are Hummin’ in The Deluge
The flood is at the door
Hout
I don’t appreciate the threat when I am really on your side
Deborah
It’s not a threat, I’m warning you, the option’s been described
Together
Negotiate a deal before [you/we] put at risk the lives
Of all the Enclavers
You/We are Hummin’ in The Deluge
You/We are Hummin’ in The Deluge
You/We are Hummin’ in The Deluge
The rain could be of blood
The politicians here have gone and filled these caves with strife
Deceitful and reactionary they’re playing with the lives
Of all of their constituents and Jensen’s way of life
We need to work it out
You/We are Hummin’ in The Deluge
You/We are Hummin’ in The Deluge
You/We are Hummin’ in The Deluge
Let’s still the waters now
– Lyrics from the musical vid ‘Hummin’ In The Deluge’
“Oh. That.
“It gets in your head in that slow march way; I once had a boyfriend who used to get drunk and sing it with his friends. Or alone.
“A bunch of extra verses not in the vid too.”
Side box added.
Sorry about the long reply time part of my illness has been a splitting headache and being creative has been agony.
Oliver pauses… “Was the boyfriend legion?”
