Lyrics Pirate in the Water - Santigold

Pirate in the Water

While you’re burnin' away
The thing’s goin' down
You gotta move, you gotta move (yeah, ow)
While you’re burnin' away
The thing’s goin' down
You gotta move, you gotta move (yeah, ow)
There’s a pirate in the water
There’s a price to pay tonight (yeah)
On the dock, the sea looks smooth
But it’s tainted in the light (yeah)
Fear not the holes you’re sinkin' into
Don’t let 'em take you like the buccaneers do We on the look, we tryin' to get through
You’re fumigated if you kill 'em off too
While you’re burnin' away
The thing’s goin' down
You gotta move, you gotta move (yeah, ow)
While you’re burnin' away
The thing’s goin' down
You gotta move, you gotta move (yeah, ow)
Tryin' to make it to the harbor
Racin' time against the light
Tellin' me you got much to lose
'Til you’re ruthless with your life
Come in the dark and pillage right through
Don’t let 'em take you like the buccaneers do Right though the heart, they’ll tear you in two
Then ride the vessel that they turn you into
While you’re burnin' away
The thing’s goin' down
You gotta move, you gotta move (yeah, ow)
While you’re burnin' away
The thing’s goin' down
You gotta move, you gotta move (yeah, ow)
