[Verse 1]
All the sailors with their seasick mamas
Hear the sirens on the shore
Singing songs for pimps with tailors
Who charge ten dollars at the door

[Chorus]
You can really learn a lot that way
It can change you in the middle of the day
Though your confidence may be shattered
It doesn't matter

[Verse 2]
All the great explorers
Are now in granite laid
Under white sheets for the great unveiling
At the big parade

[Chorus]
You can really learn a lot that way
It can change you in the middle of the day
Though your confidence may be shattered
It doesn't matter

[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
All the bush league batters
They come to die on the diamond
In the stands the home crowd scatters
For the turnstiles

[Instrumental]
