lyrics

Mother, mother ocean
I have heard your call
I’ve wanted to sail upon your waters since I was three feet tall
You’ve seen it all
You’ve seen it all
You watched the that men who rode you switch from sails to steam
And in your belly you hold the treasures that few have ever seen
Most of them dreams
Most of them dreams
And yes I am a pirate
Two hundred years too late
The cannons don’t thunder, there’s nothing to plunder
I’m a landlocked victim of fate
Arriving too late
And in the wrong place
I’ve done a bit of smuggling
Yeah I’ve run my share of grass
I made enough money to buy Miami but I pissed it away so fast
Never meant to last
Never meant to last
I have been drunk now for over two weeks
I’ve passed out and I’ve rallied and I sprung a few leaks
But I got to stop wishing, got to go fishing
I’m down in rock bottom again
Just a few friends
Just a few friends
Mother, mother ocean
After all these years I’ve found
My occupational hazard being my occupation’s just not around
I feel like I’ve drowned
I’m gonna head up town
