Lyrics
Well if this ship starts to sink, you've got the first boat out
If things go south, you have the first chance to escape.
And if this place should go up in smoke, I'll burn, you'll be saved no doubt
In a crisis, I'll face the consequences, and you'll be safe.
What's the shame in vanity, why should you get all the fun?
Questioning the significance of vanity and wondering why one person should have all the enjoyment.
'Cause you're daddy's little girl and I'm just a poor man's son
Pointing out a social divide: you, as a privileged person, versus me, a less fortunate individual.
You've gotta let me try that out sometime
Expressing a desire to experience something new or different.
Your steady hand works so much better than mine
Acknowledging that your skills surpass mine, and suggesting collaboration.
Plus it's my color anyway
Highlighting a preference for your choices or style.
Sometimes I need a break from being a man all day
Admitting the need for a break from the pressures of traditional masculinity.
Sometimes I need a break from being a man all day
Reiterating the desire for a break from societal expectations of manhood.
I'll take the pay-cut, a brand new haircut, a little glitter around the eye
Willing to sacrifice, adopt a new appearance, and embrace change for the relationship.
I've never done that, only been one way so I guess I'll just improvise
Expressing a willingness to try new things due to a lack of previous experience.
You're truly something to behold; a sight for sore eyes
Complimenting you as an exceptional and captivating individual.
Through all the catcalls and all the assholes for you my heart goes out; I sympathize
Acknowledging the challenges you face from others and expressing empathy.
You've gotta let me try that out sometime
Repeating the desire for collaboration and acknowledging your superior abilities.
Your steady hand works so much better than mine
Reinforcing the idea that your skills are more effective than mine.
Plus it's my color anyway
Reiterating a preference for your choices or style.
Sometimes I need a break from being a man all day
Stressing the periodic need to escape the societal expectations placed on masculinity.
Sometimes I need a break from being a man all day
Repeating the desire for a break from the pressures of traditional manhood.
