lyrics

paint my eyes shut
then wake me up in Shangri-La

I hear the sirens calling us by name
sailors grinning at their own demise
and always searching for a lighthouse tower
and bearing leeward to the gates

hazing all of the sites
Antigua and rum
Paris and wine
eloquent Shakespeare on my tongue
no one to tell us we’re wrong

those shiny feelings won’t be reciprocated
we’re on a mission to the Pole
just like the pearl inside the velvet moonlight
with bottles breaking overhead

hazing all of the sites
Antigua and rum
Paris and wine
follow the pages of your life
polish your gold coins sailor

with the eye of the sextant aiming for the stars
we lust for the bounty
and I’ll bury it for my only son

hazing all of the sites
Antigua and rum
Paris and wine
follow the pages of your life
polish your gold coins sailor

let me report to you my fine young lads
you gotta hold your head high
and if you see the bear you take him down
never taking their abuse you don’t lose
just like the pearl inside the velvet moonlight
like the pearl inside the velvet moonlight
like the pearl inside the velvet moonlight
with bottles breaking overhead
