It is a waterproof, windproof, I love you
I'm on the roof kind of a day, day
We're in the grill room with the groundwork
You stain your skirt, skirt, I like your hairdo, I hate your way

Yes, that's the price you pay
Yes, that's the price you pay
Yes, that's the price you pay
Yes, that's the price you pay

I'm just a ship boy, I pay my ship toll
And every ship day I take a ship stroll out on the deck
It's complicated, I underrated
But now I made it, might it be a bit okay?

No, that's the price you pay
No, that's the price you pay
No, that's the price you pay
No, that's the price you pay

I'm feeling weary', he said to Larry
I'm gonna OD, I hit the roadie, I'm in a pop band'
He said, 'Remember James Dean was looking pristine
In comes the benzine out goes the rebel
Without a grant but with a fanzine'

Yes, that's the price you pay
Yes, that's the price you pay
Yes, that's the price you pay
Yes, that's the price you pay

Just like a dive bomb, you're gonna dive son, ain't nothing won hon'
Until it's done done, look out for the quake
Check out the ceiling, there's nothing healing
Your life is peeling, I know the feeling, you just wanna break
You just wanna break

No, that's the price you pay
No, that's the price you pay
No, that's the price you pay
No, that's the price you pay

I'm just a ship boy, I pay my ship toll
And every ship day I take a ship stroll out on the deck
It's complicated, I underrated
But now I made it, might it be a bit okay?
