Condoms Are For Sailors

Story Behind The Song

A friend of mine had a piece of art which pictured a sailor whose face was covered in warts and disease with theh caption "Condoms Are For Sailors". I figured that'd be a good thing to write a song about. So I took that and shoehorned some feelings in there.

Lyrics

"Condoms are for sailors, I believe in every word
and it looks like you could use a cigarette
We were floating in the water, I was pacing back and forth
Yeah, you know I always love bashing in my head.
Now I'm feeling like some ghost

You've got some nerve showing your face around here
Everybody knows what you are and where you've been
You've got that fire on your face boy I swear
You do it hard, you do it fast, it's gonna do you in
You'll end up like some folks

Hey hey hey commotion, Jesus save me
Pu-pu-pu pull me out from the fire
Sh-sh-sh shake me all you wanna,
yeah, you know, it's never enough"
