Letra

[Verse 1]
A distant car, a quiet night, like starin' at the ceiling
My sleepy eyes, you smell so nice, it's such a funny feeling
Got no idea what time it is, delightfully confusing
The trees outside, the morning light arrives like pirates on parade
Surprise, it's pirates on parade
[Verse 2]
A ray of light between the blinds, I lie there in a stupor
I hear a thud and then a flush, guess it must be my neighbors
I blink my eyes, I laugh inside, imagine what they're sayin'
I see your shape and through the night
Here come those pirates on parade
Ahoy, it's pirates on parade
[Verse 3]
Through the rough and stormy weather, on a search for buried treasure
There's an island to explore, every wave that whispers softly
Stay in bed 'cause it's still early, dolphins frolic by the shore
And the phone never rings when the pirates are singin'
[Verse 4]
Well, there's sixteen men on a dead man's chest in this hallucination
The map we got, X marks the spot, we're followin' directions
The seven seas, the palmy breeze, the pleasure of surrender
The end is nigh, the sun is high, it's late for pirates on parade
Too late, for pirates on parade
[Verse 5]
Traffic noises down below me, a helicopter circles slowly
Monsters sink into the deep, mountainous and downy billows
Float among those fully pillows, maybe I'll go back to sleep
And the phone never rings when the pirates are singin'
[Verse 6]
This wicked life, so what's in store behind that velvet curtain?
The night is gone and the day is here, the stupid sun is shinin'
The moon reflects, your hair's a mess, its lovely imperfections
My crew and I, the clear blue skies sail on pirates on parade
Sail on, you pirates on parade
