Rael by The Who Lyrics

Genre: rock | Year: 1967

[Verse 1]
The Red Chins in their millions
Will overspill their borders
And chaos then will reign in our Rael

[Missing Verse]
The country of my fathers
A proud land of old order
Like a goldfish being swallowed by a whale

Rael, the home of my religion
To me the center of the Earth

[Chorus 1]
The Red Chins in their millions
Will overspill their borders
And chaos then will reign in our Rael

[Verse 2]
My heritage is threatened
My roots are torn and cornered
And so to do my best I'll homeward sail
And so to do my best I'll homeward sail
[Chorus 2]
Now Captain, listen to my instructions
Return to this spot on Christmas Day
Look toward the shore for my signal
And then you'll know if in Rael I'll stay

[Verse 3]
If a yellow flag is fluttering
Sickly herald against the morn
Then you'll know my courage has ended
And you'll send your boat ashore
But if a red flag is flying
Brazen bold against the blue
Then you'll know that I am staying
And my yacht belongs to you

[Chorus 2]
Now Captain, listen to my instructions
Return to this spot on Christmas Day
Look toward the shore for my signal
And then you'll know if in Rael I'll stay

[Bridge]
He's crazy if he thinks we're coming back again[x3]
He's crazy, anyway
[Verse 4]
If a yellow flag is fluttering
Sickly herald against the morn
Then you'll know my courage has ended
And you'll send your boat ashore
