The White Whale

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Lost in the iron sea of endless rolling roofs We're going for glory, kids -- your dad has something to prove You see its not enough to just have hope when lost You must have the highest of hopes and hold out at all cost That's why as I tack across this parking garage I nor spotted the entry and aim for the drivers mirage The unspeakable beauty of free land at the front of the store And yet this takes vision and steadfast courage to aim for more [Pre-Chorus] All the early spots are clearly reserved for thе meek A spot equidistant to store and ticket machinе we seek [Chorus] We hunt the white whale, the holy grail! The park in front of the store We hunt the white whale, the holy grail! With gusto and glee, sing it with me, we dare to ask for more! [Verse 2] My child jolts me to attention, Land Ho! does he scream! I pinch myself, and sure enough, the space of my dreams The sharks begin to circle, I indicate my intention Just know this parking space is mine, I show no apprehension Yet as I approach, one thing is painfully clear Other cars with blinking lights starting to appear Back off green van, I see your plan! Don't think about it, blue sedan! This spot is mine, we'll hold our ground There's no better land to be found! [Pre-Chorus] All the early spots are clearly reserved for the meek A spot equidistant to store and ticket machine we seek [Chorus] We hunt the white whale, the holy grail! The park in front of the store We hunt the white whale, the holy grail! With gusto and glee, sing it with me, we dare to ask for more! [Verse 3] As we bring her 'round, I find to my dismay A little hatchback hiding there is taking up half the bay With hope dashed against the rocks and petrol light now on Perhaps my nerve is waning, a retreat before too long No! Hold fast, and cast away all dread! There'll be spaces that we seek in the times ahead Sure, some may say, any park in a store But only the bravest captain finds his true reward [Pre-Chorus] All the early spots are clearly reserved for the meek A spot equidistant to store and ticket machine we seek [Chorus] We hunt the white whale, the holy grail! The park in front of the store We hunt the white whale, the holy grail! With gusto and glee, sing it with me, we dare to ask for more! [Final Chorus/Outro] We hunt the white whale, the holy grail! The park in front of the store We hunt the white whale, the holy grail! With gusto and glee, sing it with me, we dare to ask for more! With gusto and glee, sing it with me, we dare to ask for more!
