Pirates (So Long Lonely Avenue) - Rickie Lee Jones

Come on — joey get out of school

We got places to go

A '57 lincoln you got a radio that hurts

And the girls like to touch it

Just to find out if it works

But don’t look at me

It wasn’t me

Joey live on the edge of the corner

Of living on the run

I like to ride in the middle

I’m just tryin to have some fun

Until the pirates come

And take me

And i won’t need a pilot

Got a pirate who might sail

Somewhere i heard far away

You answer me

So i’m holding on

To your rainbow sleeves

Well, goodbye boys,

Oh my buddy boys,

Oh my sad-eyed sinatras

It’as a cold globe around the sea

You keep the shirt that i bought ya

And i know you’ll get the chance to make it

And nothin’s gonna stop you

You just reach right out and take it

You say — so long, lonely avenue

So long lonely avenue

I’ll see you there

Wait 'n see

Be lookin' for me

Just like you

Just like me
