| Call me Ahab, what, monomaniac
|
| Obsessed with success unlike Steve Wozniak
|
| On the hunt for this mammal that once took my leg
|
| With my warn down crew and my man Queequeg
|
| «You're never going to find him!"He's a big sperm whale
|
| «The ocean is enormous!"Shut up, we’re setting sail
|
| This scar that you see that runs down my face
|
| Has scarred my soul and inspired this chase
|
| Mental sickness has got me on the run
|
| Full speed ahead! |
| This is American fun
|
| There is wisdom that is woe, so welcome to my life
|
| It was fine until Moby scarred me like a knife
|
| Towards thee I sail, thou unconquering whale
|
| To stab my spear into your white tail
|
| The first one to stop him gets this gold doubloon
|
| Now excuse me while I go be melancholy in my room!
|
| (Got a low low feeling around me)
|
| Bad trip thanks to Moby Dick!
|
| (And a stone cold feeling inside)
|
| Peg leg, sperm whale, jaw bone, what!
|
| (And I just can’t stop messing my mind up)
|
| Whale crash so fast
|
| (Or wasting my time)
|
| Oh no, oh no!
|
| The ship’s got a hole, plug it up, plug it up!
|
| «We're never going to find this white whale,
|
| Are we captain?»
|
| Hey Ishmael… can I call you annoying?
|
| Grown up Beluga in the deep blue sea
|
| Swims so fast and swims so free
|
| With the heaven above, Moby Dick stressing me
|
| And this crazy drenched crew below
|
| Call it idiot pride, or call me Oedipus
|
| My main tragic flaw: «But what about us?»
|
| It’s your battle too, crew, man vs. beast
|
| At least have respect as we sail south and east
|
| And north and west, look I’m doing my best
|
| While the rain keeps pouring
|
| we’re exhausted and stressed
|
| Pip went insane when he almost drowned,
|
| So profound when he shrieks like a little sailor clown
|
| Random ships we met warned us of our doom
|
| They said our boat would be our tomb
|
| Near the Mariana Trench, deep and oceanic
|
| We spotted Moby Dick so white and titanic
|
| I said, «You took my leg, and for that you must die!»
|
| I threw my spear and hit Moby in the eye
|
| He charged the boat, it began to sink
|
| I said, «How about that? |
| Hubris really stinks!»
|
| I didn’t think that it would end like this
|
| Pride met fate, this captain got dissed
|
| Let it be a lesson, revenge is never sweet
|
| So I stomp my peg to this Supergrass beat!
|
| (Got a low low feeling around me)
|
| That’s it, thanks to Moby Dick!
|
| (And a stone cold feeling inside)
|
| Peg leg, sperm whale, jaw bone, what!
|
| (And I just can’t stop messing my mind up)
|
| Whale crash so fast
|
| (Or wasting my time)
|
| Oh no, oh no!
|
| The ship’s got a hole, plug it up, plug it up! |
