Verse
Were we're from, we don't know
we simply don't care where we go
Each harbour resembles the other,
so we don't even bother
above deck some thoughts aglow
down here, we just row and row.
Verse
We follow the master, the king of fools
he'll lead us to glory and shiny jewels
doomed to fade, one after another
yeah, we don't even bother
This ship and the sea, is all we know
so we fornicate, fight and drink till we go
Verse
So you better prepare, wherever you are
we'll chase you from town in feathers and tar
we'll steel your jewels, dishonour your name
if you seek revenge, the king's to blame
Bridge
Cause above deck the thoughts aglow
down here, we just row and row.
This ship and the sea, is all we know
so we fornicate, fight and drink till we go
Chorus
Give us an oar, and we'll row to your beat,
for a drink, a lady, a song we deceive!
we take on each battle, we won't go down
King of fools, we follow your crown!!
Verse
You may hide your goods, and pay all your dues
but your soul's already seduced to abuse
In a harbour's flop house, we come over you
waking up with a lady with a nasty tattoo.
So welcome aboard, you've sold your soul
from now on this harbour's your only goal
Bridge
while above deck some thoughts aglow
down here you'll row and row.
This ship and the sea, is all you'll know
so fornicate, fight and drink till we go
Chorus
Give us an oar
Verse
So you better prepare, wherever you are
we're already so close, yeah we're never far
you may row with us or drown at land
our king will gently take your hand
Bridge
so his thoughts on deck may aglow
we're just here to row and row.
This ship and the sea, is all you'll know
fornicating, fighting 'n drinking we go
Chorus
Give us an oar
