Disease

[Intro]
(You need help son, you need help real bad)
Hey let me tell you something Daddy-o
I used to be a sailor
I've been all over the world
And I don't like nobody telling me what to do
Nobody not even you crackpot M.D.'s
Forget about it
You ain't sticking no more needles in me
And you ain't gonna lock me in that room
I'm telling you, doc
I'll get even with that sick broad, if it's the last thing I do
She know about the curse she carried
And yet she still let me on and on and on
Until it was too late
That, doc
Is when I started noticing
The strange and disgusting scales
All over my body
My brain pounds and pounds and pounds against
My hands are not part of my body
My body is not ruled by my brain
And my eyes, my eyes
Great God in heaven, I am diseased

[Verse 1]
I am right
I never made a mistake in my life
But unwed mothers
Have got my goat

[Chorus]
I used to be a sailor
Getting by on an (achoo!)
Help me doctor please
I think that I've got a disease

[Verse 2]
Hong Kong flu
Started talking funny when I knew
Shanghai babe
You look depraved

[Chorus]
I used to be a sailor
Getting by on an (achoo!)
Help me doctor please
I think that I've got a disease

[Bridge]
They ain't ever gonna stick another needle in me
They say it won't hurt, but I know what I see
I don't wanna wear another night shirt
I don't wanna see another white shirt now
No, no, keep away

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Hey, lepers got crime
They never have to make up their own mind
Yeah yeah, scales
To weigh their future

[Verse 4]
I'm growing hairs on my palms
I'm into nozzles and schlongs, I don't know what
Day day day it is

[Verse 5]
I had a dream I was raised
By some alien slaves
I'm scared to say say what it is

[Verse 6]
It is something I meet
On a dead end street
I'm going blind

[Outro]
I wanna know if you really go crazy
If you let it sit
I don't wanna die
But I wouldn't mind if I was an idiot
Hey hey
