Calico Jack

John Rackham (December 26, 1682 – November 18, 1720), commonly known as Calico Jack, was an English pirate captain operating in the Bahamas and in Cuba during the early 18th century. His nickname was derived from the calico clothing that he wore, while Jack is a nickname for "John". Rackham was active towards the end (1718–1720) of the "Golden Age of Piracy" which lasted from 1650 to 1725. He is most remembered for having two female crew members: Mary Read and his lover, Anne Bonny.

Come what may
I just bounce from day to day
Wanting more
Floating on
Far too late
Who knows
Where we're going
Who cares
Where we'll be
I don't, want to show, my hand
Cards close to my chest

I just laugh
At the silly things they ask
Don't you work?
Don't you earn?
Is it too late?
Who knows
Where we're going
Who cares
What we've been
Bridges are only for crossing what you fear to swim. You know

All my friends are lost in time
And they won't join me
Skimming on the Serpentine
But I don't mind
All my friends are lost in time
And they won't join me
Skimming on the Serpentine
But I don't mind

I don't want to stay,
But Lord knows I will anyway
And that's okay
But I could be someone
To light my way
The world keeps on turning
I skip but never sink as deep as...

All you dream of can't buy lost love
All you think of can't return us
There's no right way, think but don't say
Stones flat and stones round
All make the same sound

My friends are lost in time
And they can't join me
Skimming on the Serpentine
But I don't mind
All my friends are lost in time
And they can't join me
Skimming on the Serpentine
But I don't mind
