Coppertank Island

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?

And 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 worrywarts, 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

And 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

And was that just you being stubborn?

Can't you say pretty please?

Wasn't it an eggshell carpet

That brought you to your knees?

And I'm a whale, I'm a well, I'm a whale

If the right built the anchor

And the wrong have set sail

I'm a whale, I'm a well, I'm a whale
