Tanker Songtext
von Jerry Joseph & The Jackmormons

Wait a minute, baby, stay on the line
Give me a moment to breathe
Cause I don′t mean to be wasting your time
Or make it harder to leave

I see the love boat and it's pulling up anchor
Taking the lovers to sea
I see a rusty old Japanese tanker out there
It′s sinking quickly like me, like me

Wait a minute, baby, turn on the phone
Before the sympathy plea
You say you're tired of being alone
I'd say I′ve got to agree

Cause I see the love boat and it′s pulling up anchor
Taking the lovers to sea
And I've got a rusty old Japanese tanker
It′s sinking quickly like me


Though it might sound silly out of my lips
To make comparison of our love to ships
But when I sail today I see you'll sail away
We′re not the only ones calling it quits
Like a tanker, baby, like a tanker
I'm truly tanking this time
Wait a minute, baby, humor me
Before you walk out the door
I′ve got a new vantage point above the sea
I've got a new metaphor

I've seen my lover and she′s pulling up anchor
Taking another to sea
I′m like a rusty old Japanese tanker
I'm sinking quickly at sea

Though it might sound silly out of my lips
To make comparison of our love to ships
When I sail today, I see you′ll sail away
We're not the only ones calling it quits
Like a tanker, like a tanker
Like a tanker, like a tanker
