Before

The Sailor

And The sailor said : I wish I was
A creature from the Sea
floating on the ocean floor
with no more pain to feel

Trying not to lift that glass no more just starving for a thrill
Moonlight sparkles on the upper stream
the world looked so unreal

And so I joined The Navy on a sunny day
They checked my heart but couldn’t find the pain
Will you stand your life on a submarine?
I said “Sir, you know I like to stumble when I pee”
Will I miss the sight of a late sun beam?
They said “Son, we’re sure you’ll learn to feel at home shut in”

My father was a beggar
My mother was a witch
Well, she felt not guilty when she left me
In a corner of Empty Street

And I ain’t got no shields, ain’got no home
I don’t know where I came from, where to go
And I ain’t got no tears ain’t got no more
Those words came out erupting loudly like a growl

And so I joined The Navy on a sunny day
They checked my heart but didn’t find the pain
Will you stand your life on a submarine?
I said “Sir, you know I like to stumble when I pee”
Will I miss the sight of a late sunbeam?
They said “Son, we’re sure you’ll learn to feel at home shut in”

I’m going down with the submarine
deep down until my fucking troubles rescue me
“Come down machine, my submarine
deep black sea growling rumbling ocean, rescue me

“None of us can get out”
“None of us can get out”
“None of us can get out”
