lyrics

Some things sink and some things float, it’s a toss up
Some things fly and some things don’t, oh you never know
Did you trick me like that baleen whale I know?
Are you east or west, am I heads or tails?
Who knows

‘Cause I like your salty undertones
And I like your skull and your crossbones
And sometimes I want, I want to bring you home

And sometimes I think you’re quite similar to me
You have an octopus hiding beneath the sea
And I have a whale on a roof seeing as far as he can see

So might you come drop your anchor in my bay?
Step off the dock, get land sick for a day
And maybe before you go for a while you’ll stay

Then kiss my cheek before you set your sail
I’ll kiss my kerchief and post it in the mail
We all love pirates and all that they entail
