Pirate In The Water Lyrics

While you're burning away there's things going down.
You've got to move. You've got to move.
While you're burning away there's things going down.
You've got to move. You've got to move.

There's a pirate in the water. There's a price to pay tonight.
On the dock the sea looks smooth but it's tainted in the light.
Thrown out the hooks you're sinking into.
Don't let them take you like the bucaneers do.
We on the look. We're trying to get through.
You're fumigated if you kill them off too.

While you're burning away there's things going down.
You've got to move. You've got to move.
While you're burning away there's things going down.
You've got to move. You've got to move.

Trying to make it to the harbor. Placing time against the light.
Telling me you got much to lose 'til you're ruthless with your life.
Come in the dark. Their village right through.
Don't let them take you like the bucaneers do.
Right through the heart they'll tear you in two.
Then ride the vessel that they turn into.

While you're burning away there's things going down.
You've got to move. You've got to move.
While you're burning away there's things going down.
You've got to move. You've got to move.

I think this might be a bit more correct:

While you're burnin' away The thing's goin' down You gotta move, you gotta move (yeah, ow) While you're burnin' away The thing's goin' down You gotta move, you gotta move (yeah, ow)

There's a pirate in the water There's a price to pay tonight (yeah) On the dock, the sea looks smooth But it's tainted in the light (yeah) Fear not the holes you're sinkin' into Don't let 'em take you like the buccaneers do We on the look We tryin' to get through You're fumigated if you kill 'em off too

While you're burnin' away The thing's goin' down You gotta move, you gotta move (yeah, ow) While you're burnin' away The thing's goin' down You gotta move, you gotta move (yeah, ow)

Tryin' to make it to the harbor Racin' time against the light Tellin' me you got much to loose 'Til you're ruthless with you're life Come in the dark and pillage right through Don't let 'em take you like the buccaneers do Right though the heart They'll tear you in two Then ride the vessel that they turn you into

While you're burnin' away The thing's goin' down You gotta move, you gotta move (yeah, ow) While you're burnin' away The thing's goin' down You gotta move, you gotta move (yeah, ow) (repeat 'til end)

Ah na na na, ah na na na na

While you're burning away The things goin down You got to move You got to move Get out! While you're burning away The things goin down You got to move You got to move Get out!

There's a pirate in the water There's a price to pay tonight On the dock, the sea looks smooth But it's tainted in the light Thrown out the hooks, you're sunken into Don't let 'em take you like the buccaneers do We on the look, we trying to get through You fumigated, hoped to kill them off too

Get out! While you're burning away The things goin down You got to move You got to move Get out! While you're burning away The things goin down You got to move You got to move Get out!

Ah na na na, ah na na na na Get out!

Trying to make it to the harbor Racing time against the light Telling me you got much to lose Still you're ruthless with your life Come in the dark, they pillage right through Don't let 'em take you like the buccaneers do Right through the heart, they'll tear you in two Then ride the vessel that they turned you into

Get out! While you're burning away The things goin down You got to move You got to move Get out! While you're burning away The things goin down You got to move You got to move Get out! While you're burning away The things goin down You got to move You got to move
