U-boats patrolled the Atlantic, brave men if misguided

I sweat just thinking about all that ocean overhead

I'm sweating now not because I'm locked in a tin cylinder

It's because of what you've done to my head

 

I still can't believe the depths I've sunk to

I'm harassed and chided and regularly baited

I've become remiss about my personal hygiene

My professional standards have evaporated

 

I used to go to church and pray and try to be good

My grandiose ideas have foundered in your wake

Yet strangely enough I'm happier than ever

Your erratic heart gives me far more than you take

 

I still can't believe the depths I've sunk to

I'm harassed and chided and regularly baited

I've become remiss about my personal hygiene

My professional standards have evaporated

 

I woke up sweating last night alongside your bulk

After dreaming you'd run off with some other hulk

 

I still can't believe the depths I've sunk to

I'm harassed and chided and regularly baited

I've become remiss about my personal hygiene

My professional standards have evaporated
