Mother, mother ocean |
|
I have heard you call |
|
|
|
Wanted to sail upon your waters |
|
|
|
Since I was three feet tall |
|
|
|
Cause you've seen it all |
|
|
|
You've seen it all |
|
|
|
I |
|
|
|
watched the men who rode you |
|
|
|
They switched from sails to steam |
|
|
|
And in your belly, you hold the treasures |
|
|
|
Few have ever seen |
|
|
|
Most of them are dreams |
|
|
|
Most of them are dreams |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Well, yes I am a pirate |
|
|
|
A few hundred years to late |
|
|
|
The cannons don't thunder |
|
There's nothing to plunde |
|
r |
|
I'm an under forty victim of fate |
|
|
|
Arriving too late |
|
|
|
Arriving too late |
|
|
|
|
|
I've done a bit of smuggling |
|
|
|
Well, I've run my share of grass |
|
|
|
I've made enough money to buy Miami |
|
|
|
But I pissed it away so fast |
|
|
|
It's never meant to last |
|
|
|
It's never meant to last |
|
|
|
|
|
Well, I've been drunk now for over two weeks |
|
|
|
I've passed out and I've rallied and I've sprung a few leaks |
|
But |
|
I've gotta stop wishin' |
|
|
|
I've gotta go fishin' |
|
|
|
Down to rock bottom again |
|
|
|
|
|
With just a few friends |
|
|
|
Just a few friends |
|
|
|
With just a few friends |
|
|
|
Just a few friends |
