Friends For Hire – Abandon Ship lyrics

Quick now let's abandon YOUR ship
Prepare to launch, let's take a trip to
Anywhere, anywhere but here
So buckle up, sit tight, we're going for a ride
And I know this may sound like a surprise
But it's not what you think
Cause I'm not WHO you think
AND I COULD never be that guy

You had this coming now for a long time

If it was up to me, I'd make you walk the plank
I wouldn't second guess
I never make mistakes
You know you brought this on yourself

It ends up better FOR everyone else

So hold your head up
This all was a set up
Our lives are fed up with every single hope that you have
And no wonder why it ended so fast
BUT deep down I got the voice you always wish that you had

[Chorus:]
Dear Pirate, save the ones you love
This battle of hearts has just been won
Can you tell me that this gets better
CAN someone tell me that this gets better
Dear Pirate, save the ones you love
This battle of hearts has just been won
Can you tell me that this gets better
CAN someone tell me that this gets better

Take a second, and listen to the rhythm of my
Heart attack IN FACT
Here's what we're gonna do
Think of a time that you were better than this

There's not a time that you were better than this

SO READY, AIM, IT'S TIME TO FIRE TODAY.
DOWN GOES YOUR SHIP IN A BEAUTIFUL WAY.
IT'S OVERWHELMING, HOW BIG OF A FEELING, COULD BRING ME TO DO THIS SO
MUCH BETTER,

[Chorus]

This gets better...

So hold your head up
This all was a set up
Our lives are fed up with every single hope that you have
And no wonder why it ended so fast
Cause deep down I got the voice you always wish that you had
[Repeat]

Dear Pirate, please save me

[Chorus]
