paul prestipino - the whaler lyrics
sad was the whaler
who sailed the sea
hungry for beauty
seeking purity
stricken and scorched
by a night far too long
by the clever words in a verse
of some silly whaling song
“i am a whaler of ceremonies
and i revere the old ritual most fervently”
(oooh)
ah thus would he sing
vodka for the soul
disregarding the rats
hiding in his manhole
and there she surfaced
her back broke the sea
there she surfaced
her back broke the sea
shattered by beauty
like a truth idolised
like the image of beatrice
in young dante’s eyes
he leapt to the helm
a great cry he gave
he pursued her movement
like a moth to the flame
where her body moved
there he would turn
where her body lingered
there his would adjourn
and when he countered her flight
a second shout he gave
he leapt from the helm
convinced he was brave
but i tell you (absolutely nothing) nothing moved
not a sound stirred the air
and mr. whaler stood there naked
as a rabbit
and there she surfaced
her back broke the sea
the moon his only witness
waxing splendidly
she took but one look
the rest came naturally
the whaler had no clue
what was happening
ah she took off his legs
left him where he lay
left him his body (his poverty body)
took his insides away
(there they go bobbing across the waves)
and now he doth sit
upon a crate wrought of sh+lls
with his eyes ever+fixed
upon the great shifting swells
and if it comes to chance
that she passes his way
he shall cry “i am thy whaler
and i am thy slave”
ah take heed
i say take heed
take heed all ye whalers
ye who contend the sea
ye who hunt beauty
ye shall find misery
(row, row, row your boat gently down the stream)
(merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, life)
(row, row, row your boat gently down the stream)
(merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, life is but a dream)
(row, row, row your boat gently down the stream)
(merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, life is but a dream)
