lyrics

STEAMPUNK PIRATES

Some hearties sail the high seas
And cowboys ride the plains
But I sail the skies with gold in my eyes
And ride like thunder on the winds of change

Chorus:
Spread the canvas port and starboard
Full sail, while we build the steam
Hold steady with the wind now, sharpen up your eyes
There's battle in the offing and there's treasure in the skies
Tonight the airship pirates are going to prowl among the clouds
With cannon at the ready on the lookout for a prize


Taste the spray of grease and oil
Hiss of steam assaults your ears
Fit your goggles tight, keep your daggers bright
Jolly Roger's flying past the turning gears

Chorus

Bridge:
Dive, dive, with the sun at our backs
Grapples at the ready, boys, we're on the attack
Flying caravel, galleon, brigantine, or bark
If they won't let us board them then we'll ride them to the dirt
Who among you knows what their cargo holds?
Casks of liquor, chests of silver, diamonds, pearls or gold
Fire up the boilers, then, and ready all the guns
We're after Fortune's hoard tonight ... there's glory to be won


I'll forever climb the thermals
Sails trimmed, racing 'round the clouds
Ride the winds of fate, with the fortune that I've made
'Til my last pennies finally hold my eyelids down

Chorus
