Rucker - White Whale Lyrics

Something, something told me
I could have a little fun of my own
And since I'm made of nothing
But the finest and sharpest of stone
I put aside myself for a minute
In favor of a mirage
One that says I love you
In spite of all your flaws
So White Whale
Well now you know
I'll probably burn in hell, forever alone
But something struck me as I looked in the fire
I based it on my base desire
White Whale, does it hurt you
To be tethered right to me
Forever and always feeling incomplete
Baby is it working
Do you feel free of the need
To live with me and just be free
Of that which you might reap
So White Whale
Well now you know
I'll probably rot inside, deep in my home
But something struck me as I looked in the fire
It's wasted on my base desire
So take it, take it, take it away from me
White Whale, my obsession
You're just a pale reflection
Of my imagination babe
You're just as shallow as I
How you gonna get by
