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
