lyrics

There's not one thing in the world that I care for but myself,
and I know that it's wrong. But, I just can't change it.
No, I can't change it. I don't know why.
And I try, but I can't seem to feel a thing for anybody else.

I will kill you in an instant to have myself some fun,
and I know that it's wrong. But, still I will do it.
I have to do it. I can't say why.
And I think that it might be that you are just not anything to me.
And I think that you and I have wasted too much of our time on foolish things.

I am but a sailor on a boat set for some far off better land,
and I'll make it, and I'll make it,
and I'll make it. I don't care when.
And I'll have another set of blankets to cover up my head.
And I'll have another set of pillows to fill up my old bed.
