Uniform for staying alive

I need a mask for the dive to stay alive

I need buttons to hide my Lady Godiva

I need obstacles stuffed in my air-pipe to empathize

I need guts for what comes my way – and yours

A mask for the dive to stay alive even though

I need an obstacle stuffed in my air-pipe to empathize

 

If I unbutton my guts you’ll soon discover

I need buttons and a coat for my guts

My guts self-destruct on impact with water –

So do yours

You need buttons for the coat for your guts

As you’ll soon discover if you uncover your coat

You need a mask for the dive to stay alive even though

You need an obstacle stuffed in your air-pipe to empathize

They say it takes guts and it does

If you unbutton your guts you won’t self-destruct

There’s nothing to fear but fear of public unbuttoning
