lyrics

I sail the seas
I sail the swollen sands
With callused hands
And a paper hat
And that’s a fact
My school degrees
Comprise my modest hat
Imagine that
This instead of thread
To protect my head
The king, he made a speech
He said beware
Of what you eat
It’s not what you think
It’s bubblegum
Secret cigarettes
On a roadside beach
The captain’s seat
Royal naval fleet
Six days a week
That brilliant bride
With ponies on her shoulders
By happenstance
Her father’s rings
The cowboy king’s
The others sent their planes
They sent their tanks
They sent their bank
They gave their orders
Cross the border
With a covered mouth at the sushi bar
You beg for air
While you’re breaking hearts
Like a movie star
So grab the truck door
As you’re running
Take a swig and
Pass the gin
There’s a truck stop
If you’re buying
A block of cheese
And a loaf of bread
You all can see
I’m a matchbox soldier
Surrounded by two-inch borders
Surrounded by two-inch borders
Surrounded by two-inch borders
Surrounded by two-inch borders
Surrounded by
