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
