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)
