lyrics

Some people tend to expect more
Some people try to forget
Some people try to stay realistic
Keep storylines easy to comprehend
You fancy yourself
Some kind of pirate
But I don’t see a parrot
And I notice you got two legs
Sailing back home
From a juniper island
A little bit of extra cargo
That has long since slipped your mind
And do I see a ship inside that bottle
A model
Of the thing that carried you away
All you’re missing is a hidden message with a plan
Your treasure map with notes
From a tattooed man
Some people need to read the last page first
Sometimes it’s just best not to guess
Some people like to solve mysteries
Without settling for less
Take your striped shirt
Turn it into a sail
Take your black and white flag
And hang it from a nail
