Rickie Lee Jones — Pirates [So Long Lonely Avenue] lyrics

Lyrics

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
