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
It’s complicated, I underrated
But now I made it, might it be a bit o.k.?
No, that’s the price you pay
