Lyrics Said the Whale

Said the Whale

2010

I've seen enough parts to know where we stand

It's impossible to take it all in

Those bright city lights, they're burning your eyes

It's unreasonable to see them from Mars

You're unrecognizable

You're state of the art

You're paper plans

You're counselled and tall

You incorrigible stone

You're missing the point

You're un-drivable

You're falling apart

It's back and forth between all of the pride that I've got

And all that I've lost

And I'm defined by these city streets and sidewalks

And when the crowds came it put me off

It's apropos that

Just after the fact

A note arrived - a hand on our backs

"Those fiery skies

They showed us all why

You're so livable

You set the bar high"

We'll be back and we'll stay

All in from so far away

You can fit us in, just stack us upon

Up in our Lego block homes

Poised to flatten below

Tease our city bangs with these honeycombs

It's back and forth between all of the pride that I've got

And all that I've lost

And I'm defined by these city streets and sidewalks

And when the crowds came it put me off

It put me off
