[Verse 1] I went under where the green goes deep Salt in my mouth and sand in my teeth The water bent like a broken mirror Then your shadow rolled up clearer Big gray back, moon-white eye Carved through the foam like a blade in the sky I grabbed my board, but my hands were gone You looked at me like you knew my name all along [Pre-Chorus] Oh, I tried to blink it away But you kept circling in the waves My heart went thump-thump-thump When you lifted that slow blue hump [Chorus] Acid Whale, Acid Whale You were huge and you were pale Acid Whale, Acid Whale You made my whole head sail (Oh-oh, Acid Whale) (Oh-oh, Acid Whale) [Verse 2] You blew a ring made of silver smoke And the whole damn ocean laughed and shook A jellyfish choir in a neon tide All the little fish just ran and hid I was lost, but I felt so found Spinning upside in a liquid town You swam by close, then you rolled away Like a dream with fins at the end of day [Pre-Chorus] Oh, I tried to stand my ground But the waves kept turning me round My knees went soft, my bones went light When you flashed that grin in the spray-lit night [Chorus] Acid Whale, Acid Whale You were huge and you were pale Acid Whale, Acid Whale You made my whole head sail (Oh-oh, Acid Whale) (Oh-oh, Acid Whale) [Bridge] Then the sky cracked gold in two And your blue shape split the blue I came up choking, laughing hard With your ghost still dancing in my yard [Final Chorus] Acid Whale, Acid Whale You were huge and you were pale Acid Whale, Acid Whale Now I chase you in my brain (Oh-oh, Acid Whale) (Oh-oh, Acid Whale)
