lyrics

God smokes his first joint
Hills are wrapped up in a holy smoke
She sits beneath the tree
She moans
Her life isn't what she thought it would be
Relax, I said
Take this magical puff
It will help you, cool you
Push you from the dark
When you want to see the beauty
Break the ice
All of the heroes
Were children once
I could talk to you all day long
But if you want me to love you
Let's get it on
We could stay here or fly to Hong Kong

My name is Bill The Sailor
I have no boat
I left it somewhere in the ocean to float
It was when Jane had died
I never knew her
But she made me alive

I am happy, ain't got a place to stay
Some say I'm cursed
Some say I'm a blessed man
I just try my best not to go insane
Jane talked God into rolling this joint
I talked you into taking this smoke
Now God laughs
You cry no more
My work here is done
It's time to sail on

My name is Bill The Sailor
I have no boat
I left it somewhere in the ocean to float
It was when Jane had died
I never knew her
But she made me alive
