Sailor Boy Lyrics

Black Tape for a Blue Girl

As lover, I'm shit. She's always known it.
She craves confusion, I aid her delusion.
The sailor boy, her sailor boy.

A junkie's eyes, handsome and thin.
Ropes blows and whips, oh I bound her within.
Oh - oh.

It's funny, it's funny, it's funny I say.
How insecurity works out this way.
The bigger my sins, more she wants me.
The bigger my lies, more she gives to me.

I choose when I hurt her, I choose when she smiles.

There's annihilation here, the love I defile.
I lose my need for her, lose my feelings.
Lose myself in this puddle of drugs.

In our ship, she patches the holes.
I hit her when she needs me to, she keeps control.
Thought I was on top, but I see I'm below.
Thought I was captain, she stows me in hold.
Now I cannot get this collar off of my neck.
Now I cannot abandon this wreck.
