Oh I see a girl that’s blue like the sea
When I go to sleep you know that she sees me, too

Yeah just standing around like the popular kids
Hoping Saint Peter will let us in, too

“Well,” he says, “if you value your life stay off the drugs
If you value the drugs stay off the map
If you value them maps, you better travel, son
If you don’t want to travel then you’d better run”

Yeah well I knew a king in his purple throne
Oh and he had some trouble so he’s all alone now
Well I used to bring him little presents from time to time
And he’d sit me in his castle and he’d pick my mind

He said, “if you value your heart, oh stay on the road.
If you value the road, stay on the top.
If you value the top, you’re gonna suffer, son.
And if you don’t wanna suffer, then you better run”

Well I see my boss in his practical suit
I’ll toss him in the cellar won’t give him no food
When anybody tries
To tell him what to do
He holds his breath until he turns blue

He says, “if you value your job, stay out of crime.
If you value the crime, stay out of doors.
If you value them doors, you better lock ‘em son.
And if you don’t want to lock ‘em, you better buy a gun”

Yeah well I saw a snake in an apple tree
You know I didn’t trust a word that he hissed to me, no!
Yeah, he said, it must be getting awful lonely tryna save the world
Just buy a collared shirt and fuck some girls.”
He said, “if you value your limbs, stay in the game.
If you value the game, stay in the style.
If you value the style, you’re a sinkin son.
If you don’t want to sink then you better run.”
