Sailor Tattoos Lyrics

Train station knows every word you said.
Vacation from all the games we played.
(I turn away.) Long Island's calling me.
(I lost it all.) My clothes smell like the city.
(Leave me for dead.) The train will get me home.
(Drag me away.) I don't know what's good for me.
I don't know what's good for me.
Every bone in my body breaks (brakes) for you.
Believe me 'cuz by now I can barely move.
(I turn away.) Long Island's calling me.
(I lost it all.) My clothes smell like the city.
(Leave me for dead.) The train will get me home.
(Drag me away.) I don't know what's good for me.
Never let someone become,
Never let someone become
Never let someone become,
Never let someone become everything. Everything.
(I turn away.) Long Island's calling me.
(I lost it all.) My clothes smell like the city.
(Leave me for dead.) The train will get me home.
(Drag me away.) I don't know what's good for me.
Drag me away.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I love this song, it's so reflective and like Vinnie is just tired about the whole situation. Though who has this version? cause the track on the CD is different.
