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
