Inside the Whale

Lyrics

[Verse 1] We saw a better world just around the corner Time's arrow pointing down some happy trails Big clear dreams arising over the event horizon But no light escapes from inside the whale [Verse 2] Long blue summer nights, some basic human rights The lunar landing craft, a donkey's ears and tail All swallowed up as midnight struck It's so dark down here inside the whale An end to hunger, equality Under the sea Inside the whale [Verse 3] Progress, progress, rose tintеd glasses Cock-eyed optimism all crackеd and paled And all the astronauts and the Kennedys got caught Down in the depths, inside the whale So naive, this white boy's dream Tucked up in bed Inside the whale
