I’m cutting ties
Like a hot air balloon ride
Floating
Up, up and away
Passing people passing lives passing bye
You;
On your way
to the daily nine to five.
Clock in, clock out
It’s not long now
Till your severance pay-
Day.
I am above the influence
Above the push and
Shove
Where I can feel the love.
I’m drifting in
and out
with the waves
breaking barriers used
And abused
by man woman and child;
words are my weapon
brandished with iron-y,
free and in the clear
I got my rum, and got my beer,
I’m a happy pirate
Without the fear.
Do me a favor and remember
My name,
I’ve got nothing else to lose
But everything to gain.
