A distant car, a quiet night
  Like starin' at the ceiling
  My sleepy eyes, you smell so nice
  It's such a funny feeling
  Got no idea, what time it is
  Delightfully confusing
  The trees outside, the morning light
  Arrives, like pirates on parade
  Surprise, it's pirates on parade
  
  A ray of light, between the blinds
  I lie there in a stupor
  I hear a thud, and then a flush
  Guess it must be the neighbors
  I blink my eyes, I laugh inside
  Imagine what they're saying
  I see your shape and through the night
  Here come, those pirates on parade
  Ahoy, it's pirates on parade
  
  Through the rough and stormy weather
  On a search for buried treasure
  There's an island to explore
  Ev'ry wave that whispers softly
  "Stay in bed, 'cause it's still early"
  Dolphins frolic by the shore
  And the phone never rings when the pirates are singing
  
  Well there's 16 men on a dead man's chest
  In this hallucination
  The map we got, x marks the spot
  We're following directions
  The 7 seas, the balmy breeze
  The pleasure of surrender
  The end is nigh, the sun is high
  It's late, for pirates on parade
  Too late, for pirates on parade
  
  Traffic noises down below me
  A helicopter circles slowly
  Monsters sink into the deep
  Mountainous and downy billows
  Float among those fluffy pillows
  Maybe I'll go back to sleep
  And the phone never rings when the pirates are singing
  
  This wicked life
  So what's in store behind that velvet curtain?
  
  The night is gone
  And the day is here
  The stupid sun is shinin'
  The moon reflects
  Your hair's a mess
  It's lovely imperfections
  
  My crew and I
  The clear blue skies
  Sail on, with pirates on parade
  Sail on, you pirates on parade
