The Weyr That We Call Telgar

Note: 'Hotel California' was written by the Eagles, so give them credit where credit is due. This filk of that song is entirely A'lex's fault, however, and thus any applause should go directly to him.

The Weyr That We Call Telgar


In the cold northern mountains, ice wind in my hair 
Warm smell of runner beast, rising up through the air 
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light 
My sight grew heavy and my head grew dim 
I had to stop for the night 

There she stood on the bowl floor; 
I heard a watchwher scream 
And I was thinking to myself, 
'This can't be Ista it's cold as *Between*' 
Then she lit up a glow lamp and she showed me the way 
There were voices in the Living Cavern, 
I thought I heard them say... 

Welcome to the Weyr that we call Telgar 
Such a zany place
Such a lovely face 
Plenty of room at the Weyr that we call Telgar 
Any time of year, you can find it here 

Her mind is Goldrider-twisted, she got the Big honkin' knot 
She got a lot of pretty Bronzer boys, who all think she's hot 
How they dance when she rises, sweet guestweyr sweat. 
Some dance to remember, some hope to forget 

So I called up the Steward, 
'Please bring me my wine' 
He said,'We haven't had good Benden here since Anne threatened a fine' 
And still those voices are taunting from far away, 
Wake you up in the middle of the night 
Just to hear them say... 

Welcome to the Weyr that we call Telgar
Such a zany place 
Best not show your face 
They livin' it up at the Weyr that we call Telgar
What a strange surprise, what's that on your thighs? 

Weyrlings in the Barracks, 
The Greenriders are nice 
And she said 'We are all just prisoners here, of our own pure vice' 
And at the Poker table, 
They gathered for a touch
Kassi stabs out with her steely knives, 
But she just can't get the flush 

Last thing I remember, I was 
Running for the door 
I had to find the passage out 
To the place I was before 
'Relax,'said the Weyrleader, 
We are trained but to flame Thread. 
If you go out while the silver rains, 
You gonna end up dead
