Sea Stories |
Basic was just like papaw says: |
«Keep your mouth shut and you’ll be fine» |
Just another enlisted egg |
In the bowl for Uncle Sam’s beater |
When you get to Dam Neck |
Hear a voice in your head |
Saying, «my life’s no longer mine» |
Have you running with some SAD SOG |
BMF sandeaters |
Setting out on them high seas |
Feels just like being born |
That first port call in Thailand |
Feels like a pollywog turning nineteen |
They’ve got king cobras fighting in boxing rings |
And all the angels play Connect Four |
Seems like a sailor’s paradise |
But turns out to be a bad dream |
Now you hit the ground running in Tokyo |
From Kawasaki to Ebisu |
Yokosuka, Yokohama, and Shinjuku |
Shibuya, Ropongi, and Harajuku |
Aw, from Pusan and Pohang, Pattaya to Phuket |
From Singapore to Kuala Lumpur |
Seen damn near the whole damn world |
From the inside of a bar |
I’ve got sea stories |
They’re all true |
Might seem a little bit far-fetched |
But why would I lie to you |
Memories of ink forever stained |
Still got salt running through my veins |
I’ve got sea stories |
And my shellback, too |
Sometimes Sirens send a ship off course |
Horizon gets so hazy |
Maybe get high, play a little GoldenEye |
On that old 64 |
And if you get sick and can’t manage the kick |
And get yourself kicked out the navy |
You’ll spend the next year trying to score |
From a futon life raft on the floor |
And the next fifteen trying to figure out |
What the hell you did that for |
But flying high beats dying for lies |
In a politician’s war |
