Testo Pirates - David Byrne
Testo della canzone Pirates (David Byrne), tratta dall'album Grown Backwards
A distant car, a quiet night
Like staring at the ceiling
My sleepy eyes, you smell so nice
It's such a funny feeling
Got no idea, what time it is
Delightfully confusing
The trees outside, the morning light
Arrives, like pirates on parade
Surprise, it's pirates on parade
A ray of light, between the blinds
I lie there in a stupor
I hear a thud, and then a flush
Guess it must be my neighbors
I blink my eyes, I laugh inside
Imagine what they're saying
I see your shape and through the night
Here they come, those pirates on parade
Ahoy, it's pirates on parade
Through the rough and stormy weather
On a search for buried treasure
There's an island to explore
Every wave that whispers softly
"Stay in bed, 'cause it's still early"
Dolphins frolic by the shore
And the phone never rings when the pirates are singing
Well, there's 16 men on a dead man's chest
In this hallucination
The map we got, x marks the spot
We're following directions
The seven seas, the balmy breeze
The pleasure of surrender
The end is nigh, the sun is high
It's late, for pirates on parade
Too late, for pirates on parade
Traffic noises down below me
A helicopter circles slowly
Monsters sink into the deep
Mountainous and downy billows
Float among those fluffy pillows
Maybe I'll go back to sleep
And the phone never rings when the pirates are singing
This wicked life
So what's in store behind that velvet curtain?
The night is gone
And the day is here
The stupid sun is shining
The moon reflects
Your hair's a mess
It's lovely imperfections
My crew and I
The clear blue skies
Sail on, with pirates on parade
Sail on, you pirate on parade
Yo-yo-yo, yo-yo-yo, yo-yo-yo
Yo-yo-yo, yo-yo-yo, yo-yo-yo
Yo-yo-yo, yo-yo-yo, yo-yo-yo
