Pirate Hippie

V5.5

I stole a boat from a merchant man Painted flowers on the cannons No treasure chest, no golden sand Just rum and good vibrations The anchor's up, the wind is right The captain's lost but that's alright I'm a pirate hippie, sailin' free No map, no king, no enemy The waves are my religion The horizon is my home Steal a little sunshine And leave the rest alone Patch on my eye made of tie-dye Parrot on my shoulder sings "Let It Be" We rob from the rich—their boredom and their lies And give to the sea what belongs to the sea No chains below, no crown above Just salt and skin and endless love I'm a pirate hippie, sailin' free No map, no king, no enemy The waves are my religion The horizon is my home Steal a little sunshine And leave the rest alone Gold is heavy, gold will sink I trade in songs and coconut drink The tide will take us where we need No anchor holds this wandering seed I'm a pirate hippie, sailin' free No map, no king, no enemy The waves are my religion The horizon is my home Steal a little sunshine And leave the rest alone Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh... Sail away... Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh... Just a little plunder... away...
