School Boy Heart

I got a school boy heart, a novelist eye

Stout sailor's legs and a license to fly

I came with nomad feet and some wandering toes

That walk up my longboard and hang off the nose

I suppose the need to focus never arose

So something like a Swiss army knife, that's my life

Frankenstein had nothing on his body of mine

The villagers still flockin' to see

To see me breakin' free, breakin' free

'Cause I got a school boy heart, a novelist eye

Stout sailor's legs and a license to fly

I got a bartender ear and a beachcomber style

Piratical nerve and a vaudevillian style

I suspect I died in some cosmic shipwreck

With all hands spread all over the deck, what the heck?

Then some kind of unseen and unscrupulous mind

Began to pick up what he could find (he could find)

Added ice (added ice), shook me twice (shook me twice)

Rolled the dice

Now I've got a schoolboy heart, a novelist eye

Stout sailor's legs and a license to fly

I got a native tongue from way down South

It sits in the cheek of my gulf coastal mouth

I got a school boy heart, a novelist eye

Stout sailor's legs and a license to fly

I came with nomad feet and some wandering toes

That light up my longboard and hang off the nose
