Fair to Midland Coppertank Island Lyrics Fair To Midland lyrics

Ladies and gentlemen
We are in a little bit of a predicament
He said take your time
But didn't back his words

Heroes and holy ghosts
Which one of you steps on the others' toes
And then risks his neck
Like It's a moving target

Was that just you being stubborn?
Can't you say pretty please?
Wasn't it an egg-shell carpet
That brought you to your knees?

If the right built the anchor
And the wrong
Have set sail
I'm a whale, I'm a whale, I'm a whale

Busy bees and worrywarts
We are not in the
Business of fireworks
Or turning heads that whistle in the dark

Sitting ducks and guinea pigs
Are the first to catch word
Of straws in the wind don't stop them
Two cents never made you rich


Was that just you being stubborn?
Can't you say pretty please?
Wasn't it an egg-shell carpet
That brought you to your knees?

If the right built the anchor
And the wrong
Have set sail
I'm a whale, I'm a whale, I'm a whale

I've shown my white feathers
I've shown my white feathers

Was that just you being stubborn?
Can't you say pretty please?
Wasn't it an egg-shell carpet
That brought you to your knees?

If the right built the anchor
And the wrong have set sail
I'm a whale, I'm a whale, I'm a whale
I'm a whale, I'm a whale, I'm a whale

If the right built the anchor
And the wrong
Have set sail
I'm a whale, I'm a whale, I'm a whale
