"National Anthem Of Nowhere" lyrics

"National Anthem Of Nowhere"

This is the beginning?
One, two

Words flow through your veins
Your sensual use of pain
So let's send our sailors in
'Cause they don't come back
And they don't give in

Well the sailors' drug is wine
They forget the passing time
Maybe end up on the rocks
Or drown in the arms
Of an octopus

Well they sing, but cannot save
From across the waves
Got a knife that doesn't kill
By the window sill
Sits the Diamond Lil

Stay strong
'Cause this won't last long
Last long
One more song
Stay strong
'Cause this won't last long
Last long
Just one more song
