pirate’s life (lyrics by kevin lay)
sleep doesn’t creep in anymore
i stare in corners evermore
‘til the dawn breaks hard under my door
like a jet plane crashing on the floor
arriving in the hometown of my heart
well i met my heart and i promised not to tell
about the telltale heart and the things it has to tell
i once took a look down deep inside
where you can almost lose your hide
heat seeking love under the frost
like a dog that’s never really lost
finding the new address of my heart
well i kissed my heart and it’s infected me
so the seas must part, it’s this pirate’s life for me
newer darkness tricks all memory
curling finger follow me
‘til the dawn breaks up under my feet
like assassin’s method in the street
rising on the crest of my heart
well i met my heart and i promised not to tell
about the telltale heart and the things it has to tell
well i kissed my heart now it’s infected me
so the seas must part it’s this pirate’s life for me
