dave malloy - (whalesong interlude (ii)) lyrics

Loading...

[daggoo, spoken]
i guess the vaudeville’s over

[tashtego, spoken]
yeah it was fun while it lasted but we’re heading into strange waters

[daggoo]
to be honest, i’m starting to wonder about our captain a bit

[tashtego]
you’re just now starting to wonder?

[daggoo]
ahhhh, we’ll be alright

[distant whalesong]

woooooah what’s that? that’s no humpback

[tashtego]
no, blue whale, a big one, a blue whale song can travel thousands of miles
it’s so low we can’t even hear most of it, we’re just getting the upper edge

[daggoo]
woooah
what’s he saying?

[tashtego]
it’s a song
about the end of the world

[sung]
great dark dying cities
overrun with weeds and vines
bones of whales, man, and mastodons
litter the streets
turn into dust
amidst a circus of moths and fleas
underground a vast mushroom grows
singing songs of a new world
songs as when wars are over

[daggoo, spoken]
my god

[tashtego, spoken]
come on, it’s getting late. no lowering for whales after sundown

[daggoo]
right
