Verse 2:
I suspect I died in some cosmic shipwreck
With all hands spread all over the deck

Began to pick up what he could find
Added ice, shook me twice, Added Ice, rolled the dice
Chorus 3:
Now I got a SCHOOL BOY HEART, a novelist eye
A sailor?s legs and a license to fly
I got a native tongue from way down south
It sits in the cheek of my gulf coastal mouth
Chorus:
I got a SCHOOL BOY HEART, a novelist eye
Stout sailor?s legs and a license to fly
I came with nomad feet and some wandering toes
That glide up my longboard and hang off the nose
