| ladies and gentlemen
|
| we are in a little bit of a predicament
|
| he said take your time
|
| but didn’t back his words
|
| heroes and holy ghosts
|
| which one of you steps
|
| on the others' toes
|
| and then risks his neck like
|
| it’s a moving target?
|
| you?
|
| was that just you being stubborn?
|
| can’t you say pretty please?
|
| wasn’t it an eggshell carpet
|
| that brought you to your knees?
|
| if the right built the anchor
|
| and the wrong have set sail
|
| i’m a whale, i’m a well, i’m a whale
|
| busy bees and worry worts
|
| we are not in the business of fireworks
|
| or turning heads
|
| that whistle in the dark
|
| sitting ducks and guinea pigs
|
| are the first to catch word
|
| of straws in the wind don’t stop them
|
| remember this it’s just two cents
|
| two cents never made you rich
|
| was that just you being stubborn?
|
| can’t you say pretty please?
|
| wasn’t it an eggshell carpet
|
| that brought you to your knees?
|
| if the right built the anchor
|
| and the wrong have set sail
|
| i’m a whale, I’m a well, I’m a whale
|
| you?
|
| i’ve shown my white feathers.
|
| was that just you being stubborn?
|
| can’t you say pretty please?
|
| wasn’t it an eggshell carpet
|
| that brought you to your knees?
|
| if the right built the anchor
|
| and the wrong have set sail
|
| i’m a whale, I’m a well, I’m a whale |
