Pirate Blues - As Cities Burn

Before you your mom and dad used to

Smoke in the texas sun

They were young once too

And your mom she found Jesus

While your old man stepped out and drew up his veins

It’s quiet in the house of the old

You can hear through grinding teeth

Clocks taking their toll

Time has a mind of it’s own

Like our sun spinning around it won’t slow for you now

Oh I wanna catch in a song

Notes I don’t hear yet but I will when I’m gone

I’ve been pouring my heart up

Up through the floorboards but you don’t live here no more

Oh you wanna catch in a lens

Color you green eyes don’t see just yet

The horsemen they all blow out their torches

I can see you still shining now

But you sleep in a bed for a giant

While you wait for your love to come home

But you don’t know

She’s not coming back

Oh I wanna find out i’m wrong

And every road leads us home

Oh but I’ll never know

Cause I keep my eyes closed

And I only go where I’ve been before

Oh say you don’t know if you don’t
