[Verse] We gave up quiet planets traded calm for cosmic roar (Messy!) We fled the bosses, fled the rules fled the nine‑to‑five chore (Stressy!) We tossed our tidy futures for a ship that barely flies (Rusty!) We chose the void because it laughs at every civilized lie (Snazzy!) [Chorus] Oh, heave away, my bully good crew heave away through star‑lit dust for the life we chose is glowing bright and built on chaos, rum, and trust [Verse] We hope for treasure mountains hope for taverns shouting fame (Flashy!) We hope one lucky payday buys us out of this whole cursed game (Trashy!) We dream of quiet beaches dream of nights without a fight (Risky!) But every time we dock, lads we start ten before the night (Rowdy!) [Chorus] Oh, heave away, you bully bully crew, heave away and raise your glass for the future’s always shiny when you’re broke and bold and crass. [Verse] The pubs are where we crumble where the captain loses pay (Brassy!) The bosun starts a brawl the cook forgets where we are today (Classy!) The navigator kisses strangers the gunner spins a chair (Dizzy!) The medic’s under tables shouting “I’m a doctor, I don’t care!” (Tipsy!) [Chorus] Oh, heave away, you bully poor crew, heave away and spill your drink for the plan we made this morning is forgotten in a blink. [Verse] We fight because we can, lads or because we’re bored and loud (Smacky!) We drink until the tavern owner bans us from the crowd (Wibbly!) We spend our coin each visit leave our futures in the dust (Empty!) We swear we’ll save some next time but next time’s always lost (Money!) [Chorus] Oh, heave away, you drunken crew, heave away your empty mugs for the tavern is wanting us to pay and our credits are gone to dust [Verse] We stagger back to starships trip on every metal rail (Gibbly!) We promise sober futures then forget the whole damn tale (Slurpee!) [Outro] We sail at dawn, hungover broke, and proud as pirates be (Whoopee!) Heave away, lads heave away, we are free
