  Mother mother ocean, I have heard you call

  Wanted to sail upon your water since I was three feet tall

  You seen it all, you seen it all

  Watched the men who rode you, switch from sail to steam

  And in your belly you hold the treasures, few have ever seen

  Most of them dream, most of them dream

  Yes I am a pirate, two hundred years too late

  The cannons don't thunder there's nothin' to plunder

  I'm an over forty victim of fate

  Arriving to late, arriving to late

  I done a bit of smugglin', 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

  I have been drunk now for over two weeks, I passed out and

I rallied and I smoked a few reefs

  But I gotta stop wishin' I got to go fishin', down to Rock Bottom again

  Just a few friends, just a few friends

LEAD

  I go for younger women, lived with several a while

  Though I ran 'em away they come back one day, still could manage a smile

  Just takes a while, just takes a while

  Mother mother ocean, after all these years I've found

  Occupational hazzard beats an occupation just not around

  Feel like I drowned, gonna head up town

  Feel like I drowned, gonna head up town
