Pirate By Thirty Lyrics

She said, "You're the same as always, just not as good."
I said, "If you're not a pirate by thirty, then you never will."
The young optimist goes to change his clothes
He said, "I'll be right behind you,"
But it was only a joke

Yeah, yeah

I've got you, sort of
I'll whip it into shape
The young support us
The perfect fortress

She said, "I'll be with you, but not quite yet."
I said, "The waiting room's the perfect place to get sick."
When she finally came, I was half asleep.
She said, "I'm sorry to wake you."
"You looked so peaceful in your dreams."

Yeah, yeah

I've got you, sort of
I'll whip it into shape
The young support us
The perfect fortress

There was haystacks and pin pricks
There was earthquakes and party death skits
I said, "I'm happy just to see your face."
She took my by the hand and said,
"It's never too late."

Yeah, yeah

I've got you, sort of
I'll whip it into shape
The young support us
The perfect fortress
The perfect fortress
