[Intro]
Yo-ho
Load the cannons up
Barrels bounce on a rattling deck
Salt on my tongue
Heart in my throat
We chase that drop like a wreck
[Verse 1]
Map in my teeth
Rope burn on my hands
Gold in my head
And bass in the sand
Waves keep skanking to the hull-side thunder
Crew go feral when the floorboards shudder
[Pre-Chorus]
Bottle spins
Who’s steering this ride?
Seafoam fizz on the edge of the tide
Pulse in my ribs like a rolling gun
We don’t turn back when the beat outruns us
[Chorus]
Storm in the cargo bay
Boom goes the hull when the night gets brave
Hands in the air
We’re the cursed and saved
We rave
We raid
We rave
We raid
Storm in the cargo bay
Deckboards bounce till the nails give way
Sing it off-key while the world misbehaves
We rave
We raid
We rave
We raid
[Verse 2]
Captain got a scar shaped just like a hook
Swears every snare is another page shook
Cards on the barrel
Chips on the swells
He bets this drop wakes the deepest hells
[Pre-Chorus]
Lanterns swing to the slap of the tide
Gunpowder sweat
Eyes open wide
If the sea gets rough
We just surf that rush
Ride that crash till the sky goes hush
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[whispered vocals] Below deck
It’s boiling over
[low vocal register] Above deck
The moon tips over
Call and response till our lungs give in
We sink or swim to the same old din
Like
[Chorus]
