Elton John - Hey Ahab

[Elton John:]

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

[Elton John and Leon Russell:]

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

[Elton John:]

In a crumbling city we were trapped for days

With a broken sun above the clouds

Caught like Jonah forty fathoms down

And a sign on the wall says, "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
