Pirate Looks at Forty, A (Main Song Page)
Pirate Looks at Forty, A
main lyrics
Mother, Mother Ocean
I have heard your call
wanted to sail upon your borders
since I was three feet tall
you've seen it all
you've seen it all

Watched the men who rode you
switch from sails to steam
in your belly you hold the treasures
few have ever seen
most of 'em dream
most of 'em dream

Yes, I am a pirate
two hundred years too late
the cannons don't thunder, there's nothing to plunder
I'm an over-forty victim of fate
arriving too late
arriving too late

And I've done a bit of smuggling
and I've run my share of grass
I made enough money to buy Miami
but I pissed it away so fast
never meant to last
never meant to last

And I have been drunk now for over two weeks
I passed out, and I rallied, and I sprung a few leaks
but I got to stop wishing
got to go fishing
down to rock bottom again
just a few friends
just a few friends

I go for younger women
lived with several a while
though I ran 'em away, they'd come back one day
still could manage to smile
just takes a while
just takes a while

Mother, Mother Ocean
after all the years, I've found
my occupational hazard being
my occupation's just not around
I feel like I've drowned
gonna head uptown
I feel like I've drowned
gonna head uptown
