Pirates

Struggling with Pirates? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!
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 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 the neighbors I blink my eyes, I laugh inside Imagine what they're saying I see your shape and through the night Here come, those pirates on parade Ahoy, it's pirates on parade 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 singing Well there's 16 men on a dead man's chest In this hallucination The map we got, x marks the spot We're following directions The 7 seas, the balmy 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 Traffic noises down below me A helicopter circles slowly Monsters sink into the deep Mountainous and downy billows Float among those fluffy pillows Maybe I'll go back to sleep And the phone never rings when the pirates are singing 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 It's lovely imperfections My crew and I The clear blue skies Sail on, with pirates on parade Sail on, you pirates on parade
