Turning Minbari

(To the tune of "Turning Japanese" by The Vapors)

"My name is Valen," I must recall
"My name is Valen," I tell them all
I brought this station and the Shadows now will fall
My life as Sinclair, keep to myself
My life as Sinclair, put on a shelf
I think of Catherine when I'm alone with myself

His name was Zathras, brother of Zathras
He told me Babylon 4 and I had to go
I still remember my past life/future
So I can speak prophecy as if I know
He had me seeing green and seeing black
And falling down and falling back

[Chorus -- repeat twice]
I'm turning Minbari
I think I'm turning Minbari
I really think so
Turning Minbari
I think I'm turning Minbari
I really think so

I've got my soldiers, Minbari soldiers
I lead a billion of them all by myself
I've got the Vorlons and other First Ones
So I can send the Shadows right back to Hell
They've got me seeing red and seeing black
And falling down and falling back

[Chorus -- repeat twice]

No pants, bed slants, no wine, no humans
No beer, no hair, the war, no wonder it's dark
Everyone around me is a total stranger
Got to learn the pike and lead the brand new Rangers
Entil-Zha

[Chorus -- repeat four times and fade out]
