Hey Ahab

[Verse 1] It's a constant struggle getting up that hill There's a change of guard every day When you're clinging onto a driftwood boat You pray a great white whale might come your way No freeway traffic in the frozen North Just a chain link fence full of birds And when the harpoon's loaded in the cannon bay You'll be rolling through the pages lost for words [Chorus] Hey Ahab can you tell me where I can catch a ride out of here Hey Ahab hoist that sail You gotta stand up straight When you ride that whale [Verse 2] In a crumbling city we were trapped for days With a broken sun above the clouds Caught like Jonah forty fathams down And a sign on the wall saying, "Hope Allowed" All the cryptic symbols carved on bone A far cry from a tattooed rose And when the boys in the rigging catch the wind We'll all weigh anchor and it's westward ho [Chorus][x2]
