| It is a waterproof, windproof, I love you
 | 
| I’m-on-the-roof-kind-of-a-day, day
 | 
| We’re in the grillroom with the groundwork
 | 
| You stain your skirt, skirt, I like your hairdo, I hate your way
 | 
| Yes, that’s the price you pay, yes, that’s the price you pay
 | 
| Yes, that’s the price you pay, yes, that’s the price you pay
 | 
| I’m just a shipboy, I pay my shiptoll
 | 
| And every shipday I take a shipstroll out on the deck
 | 
| It’s complicated, I underrated
 | 
| But now I made it, might it be a bit o.k.
 | 
| No, that’s the price you pay, no, that’s the price you pay
 | 
| No, that’s the price you pay, no, that’s the price you pay
 | 
| 'i'm feeling weary', he said to larry
 | 
| 'i'm gonna o.d., I hit the roadie, I’m in a popband'
 | 
| He said, 'remember james dean was looking pristine
 | 
| In comes the benzine out goes the rebel without a grant but with a fanzine'
 | 
| Yes, that’s the price you pay, yes, that’s the price you pay
 | 
| Yes, that’s the price you pay, yes, that’s the price you pay
 | 
| Just like a dive-bomb, you’re gonna dive son, ain’t nothing won hon'
 | 
| Until it’s done done, look out for the quake
 | 
| Check out the ceiling, there’s nothing healing
 | 
| Your life is peeling, I know the feeling, you just wanna break
 | 
| You just wanna break
 | 
| No, that’s the price you pay, no, that’s the price you pay
 | 
| No, that’s the price you pay, no, that’s the price you pay
 | 
| I’m just a shipboy, I pay my shiptoll
 | 
| And every shipday I take a shipstroll out on the deck
