The work you chose has a practical vein    But I read much more into your name    Lifeguard    Patrolling the length and the breadth of your pool    I call your name from the vestibule    Lifeguard       Lifeguard, save me from life    Save me from life    Save me from life       Save from the ails, or the ills    And from other things       The centre of the town is a dangerous zone    Drenched in phlegm every time that I come home       Lifeguard, save me from life    Save me from life    Save me from life       Save from the ails, and the ills    And from other things       Lifeguard, guard me from life    Lifeguard, guard me from life       The last bus home is the dangerous one    A baseball bat across the collarbone    Lifeguard       Lifeguard, save me from life    Save me from life    Save me from life       'Cause it's the only life I'll ever have    I'm always good, I'm never bad    And I've always been so kind    To the sick and to the partially blind       Save me from life
