about

If you think you've seen it all, my friend
You best get yourself a grip
It was never the whole mystery
It was really - it was barely - just the tip

lyrics

"JUST THE TIP"

1. "Water, water everywhere but not a drop to drink..."
All this debating going around could drive a man to think
Jack be nimble and Jack be quick
But Jack knows Jack- cause Jack be thick
At sea without a rudder
We're at sea without a rudder
We didn't cause the spill
But we're swimming in the slick

Chorus
Well, you know the cup is poison
But somehow you still wanna take a sip (just a sip...)
You thought you took the big one
But, honey child, it was really just the tip
(Just the tip)
You might of thought you were the captain
Going down so bravely with the ship
You thought it was an ice berg
But, honey child, it was really just the tip
(Really just the tip)

2. From the Pillars of Creation to the mountains of the Moon
From the ancient halls of Angkor Wat
To Tutankhamun's Tomb
If you think you've seen it all my friend
You best get yourself a grip
It wasn't the whole mystery
It was really
It was barely
Just the tip
