I pulled the plug
 I travelled down the drainpipe
 You'll find a note by the bath to say goodbye
 And though they called my name
 I flushed them from my senses
 These tunnels were vast, I sped by the rats to the sea
 Oh, see; the stars alight for me
 As the sky unfolds
 I was not told of such beauty
 Such beauty
 Spy the red horizon, I was caged but now I run
 I row toward a rising sun;
 A Soulboat on the waves
 And I will hoist the skull and bones
 Tell ships in the night 'don't come near
 I have a knife and I have no fear
 If you carry word from the shore
 I don't need them anymore
 I'm a pirate now.'
 And oh, how gold it fills my chest
 It glows like the sun
 It's mine and mine alone
 You cannot touch my new beauty. You cannot touch it
 She fled, alone
 Lost her boat in a storm, the glowing sunk like a stone
 And the stars no longer cared;
 She didn't look up anymore, she hadn't stared up in years
 And at dawn I must think of her
 Throw the pearls back in the sea
