Pirate Blues

Before you your mom and your dad used to

Smoke in the Texas sun, they were young once too

And your mom she found Jesus

While your old man stepped out and drew up his veins

It's quiet in the house of the old

You can hear through grinding teeth clocks taking their toll

'Cause time has a mind of its own

Like our sun spinning around it won't slow for you now

Oh, I wanna catch in a song

Notes I don't hear yet but I will when I'm gone

I've been pouring my heart up

Up through the floor boards but you don't live here no more

Oh, you wanna catch in a lens

Color your green eyes, don't see just yet

The horsemen, they all blow out their torches

I can still see you shining now but you sleep in a bed for a giant

While you wait for your love to come home

But you don't know, she's not coming back

Oh, I wanna find out I'm wrong

And every road leads us home

Oh, but I'll never know 'cause I keep my eyes closed

And only go where I've been before

Oh, say you don't know if you don't
