(1st Chorus) I got a schoolboy hearta novelist eyestout sailor's legs
and a license to fly.
I came with nomad feet and some wandering toes that walk up my longboard
and hang off the nose.
(1st Verse) I suppose the need to focus never aroseso something like a
Swiss Army Knife -- that's my life.
Frankenstein had nothing on this body of mine. The villagers still flockin'
to seeto see mebreakin' freebreakin' free!
(2nd Chorus) 'Cause I got a schoolboy hearta novelist eyestout sailor's
legs and a license to fly.
I got a bartender's ear and beachcomber's style. Piratical nerve and a
vaudevillian style.
(2nd Verse) I sur-spectI died in some cosmic shipwreckwith all hands
spread all over the deckwhat the heck.
Then some kind of unseen and unscrupulous mind began to pick up what he
could find.
Added iceshook me twicerolled the dice.
(3rd Chorus) Now I got a schoolboy hearta novelist eyestout 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.
(Outro) I got a schoolboy hearta novelist eyestout 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.
(Repeat outro and fades out with "Oooo's" under).
