| Sleeping in a van, out of gas
|
| Playing in a band, on Mississipi Avenue
|
| Pickin' a guitar, strapped for cash
|
| Mappin' out the stars, on every single latitude
|
| And it was all about
|
| Lipstick, pickups and drumstick
|
| Flips on the white stripe kit
|
| Cause the kids can’t quit, no
|
| You know I just can’t quit, no
|
| Oh, I’m a sailor, keep on sailing
|
| Out of my mind, out on the tide
|
| I’ve got nowhere to be
|
| I’m a sailor, not a salesman
|
| Out on the line, nothing to hide
|
| Cause I’m no good at pretending
|
| Hanging on a watermelon sunset
|
| Swing through open doors in my dreams
|
| Eight years old and no one ever told me
|
| What I couldn’t be
|
| Shoot hoops, dance moves, I could believe anything
|
| And it was all about
|
| Lipstick, pickups and drumstick
|
| Flips on the white stripe kit
|
| Cause the kids can’t quit, no
|
| You know I just can’t quit, no
|
| Oh, I’m a sailor, keep on sailing
|
| Out of my mind, out on the tide
|
| I’ve got nowhere to be
|
| I’m a sailor, not a salesman
|
| Out on the line, nothing to hide
|
| Cause I’m no good at pretending
|
| I hear you speak, it’s synthetic, like a dead end
|
| It’s just nothing
|
| It’s just nothing, it’s synthetic
|
| It’s just nothing, ooh
|
| Oh, I’m a sailor, keep on sailing
|
| Out of my mind, out on the tide
|
| I’ve got nowhere to be
|
| I’m a sailor, not a salesman
|
| Out on the line, nothing to hide
|
| Cause I’m no good at pretending
|
| I guess Jackson was right
|
| Imma sail out of sight |
