[Intro] (You need help son, you need help real bad) Hey let me tell you something Daddy-o Iusedto be asailor I've been all over the world AndI 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
