Pirate of Life
(words & music: M.Filipek copyright 2001)
He’s lost and found and thrown around,
His world just can’t be real
His time for fun has just begun
The days are turning wheels
Jump up and down upon the ground,
And reminisce the present
For his future's gone he can’t go on..
It’s unbuilt like a crescent
Chorus:
There ain’t nothin but hard feelings
He’s a stray society man
A Pirate of Life is what he’s called
The bottom of the can..
End Chorus:
In this house that once had life
An outcast in the slums
There is no where to hide a one-way ride
Skid-row, a living bum
It’s all too soon the same old tune
It’ ll never seem to change
So cash your chips and leave your trips,
This ain’t home on the range
( chorus)
There seems to be no opening
A lock without a key
Fantasize and blind your eyes
A dull longevity
A smile upon a young girl's face
A maiden in the sun
A dream that has been shattered
This clock that will not run
( chorus)
