The White Whale |
| Lost in the iron sea, of endless rolling roofs |
| We’re going for glory kids, your dad has something to prove |
| You see it’s not enough to just have hope when lost |
| You must have the highest of hopes, and hold out at all cost |
| That’s why as I tack across this parking garage |
| I ignore spots at the entry and aim for the driver’s mirage |
| The unspeakable beauty of free land at the front of the store |
| And yet this takes vision and steadfast courage to aim for more |
| All the early spots are clearly reserved for the meek |
| A spot equidistant to store and ticket machine we seek! |
| We hunt the white whale, the holy grail, the park in front of the store |
| We hunt the white whale, the holy grail |
| With gusto and glee, sing it with me, we dare to ask for more! |
| My child jolts me to attention, Land HO! |
| Does he scream |
| I pinch myself and sure enough the space of my dreams |
| The sharks begin to circle, I indicate my intention |
| Just know this parking space is mine, I show no apprehension |
| Yet as I approach one thing’s painfully clear |
| Other cars with blinking lights starting to appear |
| Back off green van I see your plan |
| Don’t think about it blue sedan |
| This spot is mine, we’ll hold our ground |
| There’s no better land to be found |
| All the early spots are clearly reserved for the meek |
| A spot equidistant to store and ticket machine we seek! |
| We hunt the white whale, the holy grail, the park in front of the store |
| We hunt the white whale, the holy grail |
| With gusto and glee, sing it with me, we dare to ask for more! |
| As we bring her round, I find to my dismay |
| A little hatchback hiding there is taking up half the bay |
| With hope dashed against the rocks, and the petrol light now on |
| Perhaps my nerve is waning, I’ll retreat before too long |
| No, hold fast, and cast away all dread |
| There’ll be spaces that we seek in the times ahead |
| Sure some may say, any park in a store |
| But only the bravest captain finds his true reward |
| All the early spots are clearly reserved for the meek |
| A spot equidistant to store and ticket machine we seek! |
| We hunt the white whale, the holy grail, the park in front of the store |
| We hunt the white whale, the holy grail |
| With gusto and glee, sing it with me, we dare to ask for more! |
| We hunt the white whale, the holy grail, the park in front of the store |
| We hunt the white whale, the holy grail |
| With gusto and glee, sing it with me, we dare to ask for more! |
| With gusto and glee, sing it with me, we dare to ask for more! |
