"Sailor In A Life Boat" lyrics

"Sailor In A Life Boat"
(feat. Gerard Way)

"Ever living, ever faithful, ever sure, every time. From coast to coast; his imperial majesty!"

I'm just another soldier in a fox hole
I'm just another dog-face on the front line
I'm just another sailor in a life boat
I'm just another pilot falling out of the sky

You got-you got-you got-you got to chill baby
Put yourself in my place now
You got-you got-you got-you got to ill baby
Don't wait til it's too late now

You're never gonna kill me in the end
You're never gonna fuck me in the head
You're never gonna catch me in the act
You're never gonna find me in the dark
The dark, the dark, the dark, the dark (whoa)
The dark, the dark, the dark, the dark (n-n-now now now)
The dark, the dark, the dark, the dark (whoa)
The dark, the dark, the dark, the dark
The dark, the dark, the dark, the dark
(The dark...)

(Rockin' out)

I'm just another dancer in the limelight
I'm just another bastard with a charm life
I'm just another sailor in a lifeboat
I'm just another lover with a white stroke, now

You got-you got-you got-you got to chill baby
Put yourself in my place now
You got-you got-you got-you got to kill baby
Put the Hell's the point of this, now

You're never gonna kill me in the end
You're never gonna fuck me in the head
You're never gonna catch me in the act
You're never gonna find me in the dark
The dark, the dark, the dark, the dark (whoa)
The dark, the dark, the dark, the dark (n-n-now now now)
The dark, the dark, the dark, the dark (whoa)
The dark, the dark, the dark, the dark
The dark, the dark, the dark, the dark
(The dark)

What the fuck is he on?
Like what the fuck is he on?
What the fuck is he on?
Like what the fuck is he on?
What the fuck is he on?
They're like, "what the fuck is he on?"...

James Euringer told in an interview for AltPress.com about working with Gerard Way (My Chemical Romance) on "Sailor In A Life Boat", "I sent him the song, and he obviously knocked it out. [...] His vocal and lyrical style comes across to me like a Frank Miller comic book from 1981, like 'Sin City' and stuff."
"The meaning of the song is that I'm very comfortable being alone and being by myself," Jimmy Urine explained, "I have always been that way, and I think that a lot of people are not comfortable with being alone socially. That led me to the 'sailor in a life boat' lyric. I can be alone for long periods. Obviously I couldn't live without my wife, and I love my close friends and family. But I am also totally fine hanging out by myself, and I have been that way since I was a kid."
