A Pirate Looks At Forty
In the style of
Lyrics
mother
mother ocean
i have heard you call
wanted to sail
upon your water
since i was
three feet tall
you've seen it all
you've seen it all
watched the men
who've rode you
switch from sails
to steam
and in your belly
you hold
the treasures few
have ever seen
most of 'em dream
most of 'em dream
yes i am a pirate
two hundred
years too late
the cannons
don't thunder
there's nothin'
to plunder
i'm an over forty
victim of fate
arriving too late
arriving too late
i've done a bit
of smugglin'
and i've run
my share of grass
i've made enough
money to buy miami
but i pissed it away
so fast
never meant to last
never meant to last
and i have been
drunk now
for over two weeks
i passed out
and i ran out
and i smoked
a few weeds
but i've got to
stop wishin'
got to go fishin'
down to rock
bottom again
just a few friends
just a few friends
i go for
younger women
lived with several
awhile
though i ran 'em away
they'd come back
one day
and still could
manage to smile
just takes awhile
just takes awhile
mother
mother ocean
after all the years
i've found
my occupational
hazard' be
my occupation's
just not around
i feel like
i've drowned
gonna head uptown
i feel like
i've drowned
gonna head uptown
