lyrics

I'm biting my milled nails
rumbling my room round
looking for my ship sails
to sail away for holy grounds

I've been searching far too long
must get out of here alive
like in my fathers sailor song
where all starts & ends in strife
have to escape this dreaded fate
that slowly kills & maims your name
nothing will stay or for ever wait
in this life, this perpetual game

Soon I'll be coming to your doorstep
waiting for your hand to go clap
smacking my face, hitting my shoelace
feel your hands my balls embrace
but I'll follow thru, yes I'll follow thru
with one eye gone astray, a nostril flying away

bye bye, no more playing catcher in the rye
I'll fight your fight the only way right
no strings attached, a clean fist-fight
I know your way was done the best
by your mom & dad in Gods place they rest
but I'll win this tale, I'll be the hero,
the big lad & for all I know & care,
you'll make me dad...die

No more drinking wine alone
while chewing on a dog bone
no more squeaking of a bed
the coughing of an old lad
no more clipping my nails
& crying for my lost ship sails
no more of all of that now
nothing ever will make me sad
now that I have found you again
& love you all I can
