[Verse 1]
If you want, I will love you
I'll open my cupboard and show you my jumpers
And posters and you'll say, "Don't be afraid, I've been here before"
I'm made of ivory, I'm a cannibal
What have you done? You're not a weapon, are you?
What have you done? You're not a weapon, are you?
[Verse 2]
I last forever, I have plenty time
Make marks, I do not panic
Don't be afraid, I've been here before
I'm made of Ivory, I eat cannibals
I'll tie you up, I'll sail on by, I will
Ooh, I'll tie you up, I'll sail on by, I will
[Bridge]
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
(And I wish that I was alone to be dead)
Oh, oh, oh, oh
(And I wish that I was alone to be dead)
Oh, oh, oh, oh
(And I wish that I was alone to be dead)
[Outro]
Ooh, the whale is not my friend tonight, I've never been alone
Ooh, the whale is not my friend tonight, it's just a bag of bones
Ooh, the whale is not my friend tonight, oh
