I had a job before this
I had a job before this
Ultimately it was that job that drove me into this
I worked at an aquarium
An aquarium with lots of money from the government
So it was huuuuge
I was a, a clean and scrub man
That?s what we called each other in the CNS union
I scrubbed the inside of the?killerwhaletank
The
And after a while the boys in the CNS, clean ?n scrub, we just sort of made it one word
Killerwhaletank
The killerwhaletank huh
The killerwhaletank
I?m going into the?killerwhaletank
I got along with these two big beasts so well
It was like they knew me
They looked at me with their hundred year old eyes
And it was like they knew me
HI!
I?d put in my scuba gear my mask my reguuulator
Uaggggh
And I?d fall into the tank
With nary a sound
Maybe a hmmm
And then I was under water
Hmmm hmmm hmmmm hmm
Sometimes
I?d jump out
Right in front of the window
When people are expecting a killer whale.
But they see a human
They get spooked
Spooked
Any way I?d do that
But I was, I was in the water this particular day and unbeknownst to me
Shamu and Bartholomew, they?re relationship had gone stale
Seems I was going in there so much
And I was looking so good
Shamu took a shining to me
And they?re so smart those things ya know
They got all these human emotions:
love. lust. greeeed!. hundred year old eyed jealousy.
Bartholamew?was livid!!
Unbeknownst to me. I can?t hear a goddamn thing under water!!!!!!
He came up he was bumping against me a lot.
The stale killerwhale bumping up against someone so pale and frail
How was I to know the killerwhale relationship had gone stale.
Well
He bunches up to me, skin like sandpaper
I say
?Hey man, bartholamew, what?s up? what?s going on big fella? What is it? I don?t wanna steal your mommy, and I certainly don?t wanna take the place of your daddy, I only wanna be your friend.?
And he circled around
I thought we were all patched up
But?
I was scrubbing
And he?
He?
Ripped my left arm off
I mean the killerwhale their beasts of the deep
They?re quite docile and friendly in captivity
But somewhere along the line thousands of years of breeding and he just snapped
And he took my left arm
He took my left arm
He took my fucking left arm
Which way is it bartholamew?
I spoke to him a language he?d understand!
As I came back, whhhm, whhhhhmm, whhhhm!
the tragically hip, new orleans is sinking, live, killerwhaletank version.
