Coppertank Island Lyrics - Arrows & Anchors - Fair To Midland

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? 

you? 

was that just you being stubborn? 

can't you say pretty please? 

wasn't it an eggshell 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 well, i'm a whale 

busy bees and worry worts 

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 

remember this it's just two cents 

two cents never made you rich 

was that just you being stubborn? 

can't you say pretty please? 

wasn't it an eggshell 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 well, I'm a whale 

you? 

i've shown my white feathers..! 

was that just you being stubborn? 

can't you say pretty please? 

wasn't it an eggshell 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 well, I'm a whale
