[Verse 1] Its a constant struggle getting up that hill Theres a change of guard every day When youre 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 harpoons loaded in the cannon bay Youll 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 Well all weigh anchor and its westward ho [Chorus][x2]
