作词 : Anderson
They say that in 1842 on a plantation in 
Alabama The slaves unearthed a huge skeleton, the bones of a giant whale, a leviathan, from the time when all the world was covered with water from the 
Andes to the 
Himalayas and even 
Alabama was deep down under. 
And the slaves looked at the huge bones and they said: 
These must be the bones of a fallen angel 
These must be the bones of a fallen angel 
Out on the ocean, out of the water 
We look for signs of him 
He looks like a giant snow hill, a fountain 
Then he disappears. 
He's a speck on the horizon 
We see him only in parts 
The flash of a tail, his beating heart. 
He's in pieces and parts. 
It's easier for a camel to slide through the eye of a needle 
Than to find a whale who hides at the bottom of the ocean 
It's easier to sail around the world in a coffee cup 
Than to see a whale when he comes rising up 
We see him only in parts 
A fountain, fins, a speck on the horizon 
Giant teeth, an open mouth 
Look out, look out, look out, look out 
So hit an elephant with a dart and he just reaches around and pulls it out with his trunk 
But hit a whale in the hear and the whole ocean turns red, 
It turns red. 
We see him only in parts 
The flash of a tail, his beating heart 
He's in pieces and parts 
So get hit in your head 
And there may be a few things you can't recall at all 
But you get hit in your heart 
And you're in pieces and parts 
Pieces and parts.
