Lyrics
Pirate In The Water
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
While you're burning away there's things going down.
You've got to move. You've got to move.
While you're burning away there's things going down.
You've got to move. You've got to move.
There's a pirate in the water. There's a price to pay tonight.
On the dock the sea looks smooth but it's tainted in the light.
Thrown out the hooks you're sinking into.
Don't let them take you like the bucaneers do.
We on the look. We're trying to get through.
You're fumigated if you kill them off too.
While you're burning away there's things going down.
You've got to move. You've got to move.
While you're burning away there's things going down.
You've got to move. You've got to move.
Trying to make it to the harbor. Placing time against the light.
Telling me you got much to lose 'til you're ruthless with your life.
Come in the dark. Their village right through.
Don't let them take you like the bucaneers do.
Right through the heart they'll tear you in two.
Then ride the vessel that they turn into.
While you're burning away there's things going down.
You've got to move. You've got to move.
While you're burning away there's things going down.
You've got to move. You've got to move.
