Cetacean History

Fly the flag of the caduceus
I swear there was an oath you swore to uphold
The men go out on their ships most every night
And the harpooners won't make it out alive

Bowie says "don't believe,"
And I'm inclined to agree
'Cause when you're fishing in the sea
Its all just cetacean history

All along there never was the one
You said you're after
And the asps crawl up your arm
From off the cane you brandished at me
You tried to heal the hole with snake oil
And white whale blubber
There never was a hole at all

All you ever wanted was perfection and acceptance
And the people of the world have just been rearranging faces
And the truth about the people is that
People are just people, you know?

All you ever wanted was perfection and acceptance
And the people of the world have just been rearranging faces
And the truth about the people is that
People are just people, you know?

Bowie says "don't believe,"
Bowie says "don't believe,"
Bowie says "don't believe,"
And I'm inclined to agree
'Cause when you're fishing in the sea
Its all just cetacean history

Bowie says "don't believe,"
Bowie says "don't believe,"
Don't believe, don't believe
In cetacean history
