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
