Scallywag Lyrics

In the middle of a stormy night

I've been singing to the candlelight

Open bottles and I'm feeling free

There are no rules for me

See

In the middle of a stormy night

The Scallywags say their final goodbyes

Prayers and curses and I know not what more

What do you want me for?

What do you want me for?

Anarchy and greed brought to a scene that's black and white

I don't have any money but I got time

I'll never try to hide but always tell my lies

I'm everything and nothing at the same time

Oh woah

I'm Trouble's little lover

I'm what the very gates of Hell are for

Oh woah

I'm rising up my colours

I'm both the Joker and the General in the war

In the middle of a stormy night

The crew is swinging looking for a fight

Count your blessings and count the stars

You gotta be mad to make it this far

In the middle of a stormy night

The Gods are laughing and the deck's on fire

Sing our shanties and drink some more

That's all we're living more

A life on the High Seas is for a bitch with my own mind

See I don't care if in the end I die

I'm born of fire

My Gods are liars

And they have built my victory pyres

If I'ma go then just burn me alive

Oh woah

I'm Trouble's little lover

I'm what the very gates of Hell are for

Oh woah

I'm rising up my colours

I'm both the Joker and the General in the war

Oh woah

I'm such a little fucker

You see me dancing on the burning deck

Oh woah

There'll never be another

And I'll keep going 'till the rope's round my neck
