lyrics

Of Whales

You say 'hello' I hear that sound 
I look around and then I turn and run
It doesn't mean that much to me 
I say it's all been said and done

Too much to see too much to do 
It's up to me it's up to you
No time to talk you'll stop my life
It goes so fast it goes too soon

Look up don't go look down below
They're watching you they're watching me
Help me
Help me

I pull the plug run out the door into the night I'm howling at the moon
They say I'm mad "a little strange" it's just another dog day afternoon
I can't believe
I cannot speak
I cannot hold a conversation
Just let me stare into your mind
I'll slowly bloat with information

Look up don't go look down below
They're watching you they're watching me
Help me
Help me

Whales beach themselves in suicide

Look up don't go look down below
They're watching you they're watching me
Look up don't go look down below
They're watching you they're watching me
Help me
Help me

Whales beach themselves in suicide
Whales beach themselves in suicide
