i pulled the plug i travelled down the drainpipe you ll find a note by the bath to say goodbye and though they called my name i flushed them from my senses these tunnels were vast i sped by the rats to the sea oh see the stars alight for me as the sky unfolds i was not told of such beauty such beauty spy the red horizon i was caged but now i run i row toward a rising sun a soulboat on the waves and i will hoist the skull and bones tell ships in the night don t come near i have a knife and i have no fear if you carry word from the shore i don t need them anymore i m a pirate now and oh how gold it fills my chest it glows like the sun it s mine and mine alone you cannot touch my new beauty you cannot touch it she fled alone lost her boat in a storm the glowing sunk like a stone and the stars no longer cared she didn t look up anymore she hadn t stared up in years and at dawn i must think of her throw the pearls back in the sea
