Policemen & Pirates

The house caught on fire in the winter the bosses lay slain

And each of the workers decided to ten fold their pay

And they saw in the mirror the sun had been shot down in flames

And nobody minded the hole in the sky or the rain

But it doesn't really matter

When the judgements are said

'Cause we all take our chances to find out romance

Is in some other's bed

Then you might burn your fingers

Hock your best friends for those

Who'd have you standing naked than publicly auction the use of a hose

All the children were laughing their faces in half at the pain

Of the girl who liked talking to walls and jumping at trains

And the words that ring true in the playground of fools will remain

And nobody minded the hole in the sky or the rain

But it doesn't really matter

When the rights have been read

'Cause we all take our chances to glance at the wife

In the opposite bed

And I bet Nero and Pilate

Could easily explain

How policemen and pirates get stoned in glass houses

Just finding their way

Yeah, policemen and pirates get stoned in glass houses
