Hey Ahab

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
It's a constant struggle getting up that hillThere's a change of guard every dayWhen you're clinging onto a driftwood boatYou pray a great white whale might come your wayNo freeway traffic in the frozen NorthJust a chain link fence full of birdsAnd when the harpoon's loaded in the cannon bayYou'll be rolling through the pages lost for wordsHey Ahab can you tell me whereI can catch a ride out of hereHey Ahab hoist that sailYou gotta stand up straightWhen you ride that whaleIn a crumbling city we were trapped for daysWith a broken sun above the cloudsCaught like Jonah forty fathams downAnd a sign on the wall saying, "Hope Allowed"All the cryptic symbols carved on boneA far cry from a tattooed roseAnd when the boys in the rigging catch the windWe'll all weigh anchor and it's westward hoHey Ahab can you tell me whereI can catch a ride out of hereHey Ahab hoist that sailYou gotta stand up straightWhen you ride that whaleHey Ahab can you tell me whereI can catch a ride out of hereHey Ahab hoist that sailYou gotta stand up straightWhen you ride that whale
