lyrics

In this light tonight (it's light all night)
I'm stumblin' through my cabin
While white whale ghosts sing half-songs
Just off the southern coast
With their white whale songs
I'm on their white whale waves

In the deep-eark down below
She dreams of Caribbean snow
Just like the last four nights
As homeland come into sight
She's on these whild waves

"Oh look!" - the Pink Man spoke with all his smoke
He's sayin', "Captains comin' close, he gonna make you broke
On these wild waves."

THese wild waves are breakin' fast
As Princess pitches fore and aft
It takes takes takes, it breaks breaks breaks
All it cannot fake
On these wild waves, wild waves, wild waves, etc.

-----
(banjo solo)

On the shore today, "Montego Bay)
Lay PInk Man in his white suit
Whild Captain drink caiprinha,
I drink a hundred shots tequila
On this island bay. I'm drunk on this island bay.

On the bridge, her heart is breakin'
'Cause the engine room is shakin'
As the boat moans low
Ain't gonna take her home
Back to her island bay. She cryin' 'bout her island bay.

Oh look! - The Heavens broke as Thunder spoke,
It's sayin', "End is comin' close,
You better quit your boast about this island bay."
Yeah, it's ending on this island bay.

This island bay is sinkin' fast
As Princess cruises her way past
With its white whale songs
And its broken dreams
And the Pink Man's boast
And the Caribbean snow
(Yeah, the Caribbean snow)
It brings th ewild waves.
Here come the wild waves.
Here come the wild waves.
Here come the wild waves.
Crashin' on this island bay.
Here come the wild waves
Here come the wild waves.
Here come the wild waves.
Here come the wild waves....
