Mc Lars - Ahab lyrics

Call me Ahab, what, monomaniac

Obsessed with success unlike Steve Wozniak

On the hunt for this mammal that once took my leg

With my warn down crew and my man Queequeg

“You're never going to find him!” He's a big sperm whale

“The ocean is enormous!” Shut up, we're setting sail

This scar that you see that runs down my face

Has scarred my soul and inspired this chase

Mental sickness has got me on the run

Full speed ahead! This is American fun

There is wisdom that is woe, so welcome to my life

It was fine until Moby scarred me like a knife

Towards thee I sail, thou unconquering whale

To stab my spear into your white tail

The first one to stop him gets this gold doubloon

Now excuse me while I go be melancholy in my room!

(Got a low low feeling around me)

Bad trip thanks to Moby Dick!

(And a stone cold feeling inside)

Peg leg, sperm whale, jaw bone, what!

(And I just can't stop messing my mind up)

Whale crash so fast

(Or wasting my time)

Oh no, oh no!

The ship's got a hole, plug it up, plug it up!

“We're never going to find this white whale,

Are we captain?”

Hey Ishmael… can I call you annoying?

Grown up Beluga in the deep blue sea

Swims so fast and swims so free

With the heaven above, Moby Dick stressing me

And this crazy drenched crew below

Call it idiot pride, or call me Oedipus

My main tragic flaw… “But what about us?”

It's your battle too, crew, man vs. beast

At least have respect as we sail south and east

And north and west, look I'm doing my best

While the rain keeps pouring

we're exhausted and stressed

Pip went insane when he almost drowned,

So profound when he shrieks like a little sailor clown

Random ships we met warned us of our doom

They said our boat would be our tomb

Near the Mariana Trench, deep and oceanic

We spotted Moby Dick so white and titanic

I said, “You took my leg, and for that you must die!”

I threw my spear and hit Moby in the eye

He charged the boat, it began to sink

I said, “How about that? Hubris really stinks!”

I didn't think that it would end like this

Pride met fate, this captain got dissed

Let it be a lesson, revenge is never sweet

So I stomp my peg to this Supergrass beat!

I said, “You took my leg, and for that you must die!”

I threw my spear and hit Moby in the eye

He charged the boat, it began to sink

I said, “How about that? Hubris really stinks!”

I didn't think that it would end like this

Pride met fate, this captain got dissed

Let it be a lesson, revenge is never sweet

So I stomp my peg to this Supergrass beat!

(Got a low low feeling around me)

That's it, thanks to Moby Dick!

(And a stone cold feeling inside)

Peg leg, sperm whale, jaw bone, what!

(And I just can't stop messing my mind up)

Whale crash so fast

(Or wasting my time)

Oh no, oh no!

The ship's got a hole, plug it up, plug it up!
