Pirate In A Box Lyrics - Lemon Demon

On nights like this, when the sea's a bit amiss 

and the lights go down across the seaside village 

I get down, I feel had 

I feel on the verge of going mad 

and then it's time to loot and pillage 

I put on me eyepatch, and swab up the poop deck 

and pull the wig down on me head 

YARRR 

suddenly I'm Captain Midwest Midnight Checkout Wench 

until I keelhaul and put meself to bed 

Ahoy! ...matey 

I look back on where I'm from 

look at the scalawag I've become 

and the strangest things seem suddenly routine 

I look up from me grog on the rocks 

a gift-wrapped wig still in the box 

of scurvy velveteen 

I put on me eyepatch, and polish me pegleg 

and pull the wig down from the shelf 

YARRRRR 

Suddenly I'm Miss Delahaye 1663 

Until I keelhaul and turn back to meself 

Ahoy, avast, scurvy dog 

Some wenches they have natural ease 

they wear it any way they please 

with their parrot curls and perfumed treasure chests, ha ha 

Wear it up, blow me down 

This is the best way that I've found 

to be the scurviest you've ever seen 

I put on me eyepatch and lower the anchor 

I'm pulling the wig down from the shelf 

YARRRRRRRRRRRRRR 

Suddenly I'm Miss Saucy Booty from the sea 

until I keelhaul and I turn back to meself 

Yarrrr!! 

Chum, grog, jolly roger, barnacles and stew 

Cutlass curls, bilgerats, it's all because of you 

With your Davy Jones' locker, and your hook and eyepatch, too 

arr, yarr, darr, ahoy, it's all because of you 

It's all because of you, it's all because of you 

AH-HARRR 

Fire the cannon! 

yarrr, land ho matey! 

Okay, everyone: 

I put on me eyepatch, and shiver me timbers 

I'm pulling the wig down from the shelf 

YAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR 

Suddenly I'm this buccaneer of land and sea 

and I ain't never... I'm never sailing back! 

YARRR!! YARRR!!
