Watched the men who rode you, switch from sails to steam. And in your belly you hold the 
that few have ever seen. Most of them dreams, most of them dreams.

Verse:
Yes, I am a pirate, two hundred years too late. The cannons dont thunder, theres nothing 
plunder, Im an over fourty victim of fate; arriving too late, arriving too late.

Verse:
Ive done a bit of smugglin', Ive run my share of grass. I made enough money to buy 
but i pissed it away so fast. Never ment to last, Never ment to last.

I have been drunk now for over two weeks, I passed out and I rallied and I sprung a few 
but Ive got to stop wishin', got to go fishin' down to rock bottom again. Just a few 
just a few friends.

I go for younger women, lived with several awhile, although I ran away, theyll be back

just not around

   I feel like Ive drowned, gonna head up town.
