Pirates |
| A distant car, a quiet night |
| Like starin' at the ceiling |
| My sleepy eyes, you smell so nice |
| It’s such a funny feeling |
| Got no idea what time it is |
| Delightfully confusing |
| The trees outside, the morning light |
| Arrives like pirates on parade |
| Surprise, it’s pirates on parade |
| A ray of light between the blinds |
| I lie there in a stupor |
| I hear a thud, and then a flush |
| Guess it must be my neighbors |
| I blink my eyes, I laugh inside |
| Imagine what they’re saying |
| I see your shape and through the night |
| Here come those pirates on parade |
| Ahoy, it’s pirates on parade |
| Through the rough and stormy weather |
| On a search for buried treasure |
| There’s an island to explore |
| Every wave that whispers softly |
| «Stay in bed, 'cause it’s still early» |
| Dolphins frolic by the shore |
| And the phone never rings when the pirates are singing |
| Well there’s 16 men on a dead man’s chest |
| In this hallucination |
| The map we got, «X» marks the spot |
| We’re following directions |
| The seven seas, the balmy breeze |
| The pleasure of surrender |
| The end is nigh, the sun is high |
| It’s late for pirates on parade |
| Too late for pirates on parade |
| Traffic noises down below me |
| A helicopter circles slowly |
| Monsters sink into the deep |
| Mountainous and downy billows |
| Float among those fluffy pillows |
| Maybe I’ll go back to sleep |
| And the phone never rings when the pirates are singing |
| This wicked life |
| So what’s in store behind that velvet curtain? |
| The night is gone |
| And the day is here |
| The stupid sun is shinin' |
| The moon reflects |
| Your hair’s a mess |
| It’s lovely imperfections |
| My crew and I |
| The clear blue skies |
| Sail on, with pirates on parade |
| Sail on, you pirates on parade |
