Elton John, Leon Russell - Hey Ahab lyrics

[Elton John, Leon Russell - Hey Ahab lyrics]

It's a constant struggle getting up that hill
There's a change of guard every day
When you're clinging onto a driftwood boat
You pray a great white whale
Might come your way
No freeway traffic in the frozen North
Just a chain link fence full of birds
And when the harpoon's loaded
In the cannon bay
You'll be rolling through the
Pages lost for words

Hey Ahab can you tell me where
I can catch a ride out of here
Hey Ahab hoist that sail
You gotta stand up straight
When you ride that whale

In a crumbling city we were trapped for days
With a broken sun above the clouds
Caught like Jonah forty fathams down
And a sign on the wall saying, "Hope Allowed"
All the cryptic symbols carved on bone
A far cry from a tattooed rose
And when the boys in the
Rigging catch the wind

We'll all weigh anchor and it's westward ho


Hey Ahab can you tell me where
I can catch a ride out of here
Hey Ahab hoist that sail
You gotta stand up straight
When you ride that whale
Hey Ahab can you tell me where
I can catch a ride out of here
Hey Ahab hoist that sail
You gotta stand up straight
When you ride that whale
