Call of Booty ~ Falling for DAT Pirate Booty REMIX

V4.5+

[Intro – distant ocean waves, creaking ship, faint fiddle riff, crowd humming] [Captain vocal, spoken, swagger] Hoist the bass and raise the sails tonight we chase a different tale [Beat drops in with jig rhythm, claps and stomps] [Verse 1 – captain lead, rhythmic sing rap] I woke up in a tavern face down on the table could not remember how I got there barely feeling stable There is lipstick on my collar glitter on my sleeve and a number on a napkin with a name I cannot read They say I met a legend on the docks last night with eyes like dying starlight and a grip that held too tight They say I swore to call her when the moon was waxing full but my memories are riddled full of cannon blasted holes [Pre chorus 1 – fiddle rising, drums pull back] If this is just a dream at sea why does my heart still pound in me why does every crashing wave sound like her laughing over me [Chorus – crew chant, big jig groove] [Captain lead] We heard the call of booty rolling in across the tide every sailor on this rusted deck felt something deep inside [Crew answer, loud chant] Call of booty, call of booty yo ho, we cannot lie [Captain] Is it true love or temptation that we chase across the blue [Crew answer] Are we just drunk on fantasy or is she calling too [Post chorus – whistles and “hey, hey” crowd shouts] [Verse 2 – female pirate vocal, playful and sharp] I woke up in my hammock boots still on my feet smelled like rum and bad decisions sand and midnight heat There is a jacket on my cabin floor that is not mine at all and a scribble on my mirror says please just text or call I remember trading glances through the smoke and lantern light I remember how he stumbled trying to look all brave and bright But now his name is drifting like a bottle in the foam and I am wondering if his heart has any harbor to call home [Pre chorus 2 – both voices weaving] [Female] If he is just a sailor boy who flirts with every breeze [Male] Why does my chest feel heavy now like anchors on my dreams [Both together] If we are ships that pass at night in tangled tides and schemes why do we keep colliding in each other’s half formed dreams [Chorus 2 – bigger, more harmony, crowd louder] [Captain] We heard the call of booty rolling in across the tide every heartbeat on this busted deck keeps beating over time [Crew answer] Call of booty, call of booty yo ho, we cannot lie [Female lead] Is it just a salty story that the bards will twist and skew [Crew answer] Are we just drunk on fantasy or is there something true [Drop – instrumental dance break, fiddle and whistle solo over edm bass] [Bridge – beat half time, more atmospheric, hints of starborn insomnia theme] [Captain, reflective] Maybe out beyond the harbor lights there is another me chasing some elven warrior through the cold infinity [Female, reflective] Maybe somewhere in a sky of stars I am saving him from fate and he keeps on forgetting till it almost is too late [Both, building] But here upon this creaking deck with moonlight on the foam we follow every whisper that might lead our hearts back home [Final chorus – biggest, gang vocals, claps and stomps] [Captain] So raise a toast to shady nights and memories we lose [Female] To every almost love we felt in borrowed coats and shoes [Both] We ride the call of booty on the waves of what might be two souls and all their plot holes lost between the stars and sea [Crew chant, stacked] Call of booty, call of booty yo ho, we answer free if love is just a drunken tide then let it swallow me [Outro – instruments drop out, just stomps, claps and voices] [Crew, a cappella] Yo ho, call of booty on the breeze yo ho, may our hearts find ease [Captain, spoken with a grin] If I forget your name again just write it on my sails, my friend [Final fiddle flourish, distant gulls and waves fading out]
