Dignity
Dignity
In the belly of a whale
I met my wife
She'll haunt and hold me
Rest of my damn life
And I got this prayer
Help me survive
I am a fallen whale man
Hunting the last whale alive
Dignity
Oh Dignity
And I got down on my knees
A man prepared to die
In the belly of a whale
Tears a drowning man can't cry
Through all of her instinct
Her celestial body flows
And all the worlds alive
In concentration camp clothes
Dignity
Oh Dignity
We fell famously asleep
And we dreamt each other's dream
From the belly of a whale
I could feel everything
To the ends of the world
On a moonlit lullaby
And we live our most down here
When you know you gonna die
Oh Dignity
Oh Dignity
And I cry as they hunt her
For she swallowed me whole
They want their money
She just wants my soul
Beware what you don't know
For the oceans she can't drink
You've seen a big world
Down here it's bigger than you think
Oh Dignity
Oh Dignity
And the serpents of God
Beneath ferocious seas
And I taste her emotional heart
We chose what we believe
But I fear the oarsmen now
They're hungry for her blood
I hold Dignity my whale
She's way off our scale of love
Dignity
Oh Dignity
She took me diving down
To the deepest ocean floor
Where I could see the world
I could feel every war
From the belly of the whale
To the holocaust of men
I knew ships and polluted seas
And our nuclear requiem
Oh Dignity
Dignity
And she squeezed me with all her love
So that I would understand
And then she beached herself
And I crawled upon the land
When your hungry heart is full
When your great ships have all set sail
You can't have Dignity
The last great ocean whale
From the belly of the whale
The last great ocean whale
Oh Dignity
Oh Dignity
Oh Dignity
From the belly of the last great whale
From the belly of the last great whale
Oh Dignity
Oh Dignity
Dignity
Dignity
