Whale Mountain

Whale Mountain looked like a whale

Large and round with a waterspout trail

Made of pine tree upside down

So it looked like a spout shooting off of the ground

The ground on top of Whale Mountain that is

Whale Mountain looks like a whale

A curved piece of rock looked just like its tail

When the earth quaked

That tail did shake

And it looked like the whale was swimming

The whale mountain, I mean, was swimming

Drop it all if you want to

I'll see you in the afternoon

Put the past behind you

What a strange cartoon

If it all falls apart though

Someone says "I told you so"

Don't listen to them, throw a coin in the fountain

And meet your old friends on the top of Whale Mountain

Whale Mountain is where we'll go

He had a band and practice space

A studio with microphones

So it's no wonder you've written songs that everyone knows

You had an agent, a gig, a promo photograph to make it all come together

So you trade a sweatshirt in for leather

You can't be a shepherd if you don't have a flock

You can't wear the shoe unless you put on the sock

There's nothing to do but trade your stock

No you can't start the spark without a rock

And you can't start a spark without a rock
